VIA PRESS RELEASE:
March 2, 2016 – Next Tuesday March 8 at 8 pm ET/PT, the action continues in the season finale of Esquire Networks’ TEAM NINJA WARRIOR, where the first TEAM NINJA WARRIOR Champions will be crowned. The four remaining teams are led by top ninja athletes – Brian Arnold, of Party Time; Kevin Bull, of the Expendabulls; the Lab Rats captained by Brian Wilczewski, and returning Wildcard team, Storm Team Moravsky, headed by Joe Moravsky. All are aiming to be the last team standing, and race in the final Championship Relay against Travis Rosen’s Team TNT, which won a shocking race in last night’s finals. The season finale of TEAM NINJA WARRIOR airs on Tuesday, March 8 at 8 pm ET/PT only on Esquire Network.
On last night’s action-packed episode of TEAM NINJA WARRIOR, the battle for the championship continued as Travis Rosen led his Team TNT into the first week of finals. Other strong groups of ninja superstars were led by Ian Dory for Mount Midoryama, Flip Rodriguez’s Team Ronin along with the Wildcard team, Stratisfaction, led by Ryan Stratis who are also vying for the TEAM NINJA WARRIOR crown. Yesterday’s First Round of TEAM NINJA WARRIOR began with a bang as JJ Wood of Team Ronin sailed to victory when Adam Arnold of Team TNT went down on the Dancing Stones. Tiana Webberley and Flip Rodriguez also of Team Ronin all won their races. The second matchup was also a sweep, as Team Midoriyama’s Dan Yager, Meagan Martin, and Ian Dory won their heats against Stratis Faction.
The Second TEAM NINJA WARRIOR Round was a different story for Team Ronin as they came in swinging, winning their first two races against Stratis Faction. However, Ryan Stratis won the third heat to force a sudden death race. In that tie-breaker, Stratis outraced the speedy Flip Rodriguez up the Dual Warped Wall to give Stratis Faction a surprise win which means Team Ronin was sent home, and Stratis Faction, the Wildcard team, moved on to the Relay Showdown
The other TEAM NINJA WARRIOR matchup was also a major upset. Team TNT, which had been swept earlier, came back to beat a dominant Team Midoriyama– when veteran Travis Rosen outraced Ian Dory in the final heat. Team Midoriyama, had been strong throughout the competition but was ultimately eliminated, while Team TNT advanced to the Relay Showdown.
In the Relay Showdown- it was a neck and neck race to the warped wall, but Ryan Stratis stumbled giving Travis Rosen of Team TNT a small lead, for the win – securing them a chance to race for the TEAM NINJA WARRIORChampionship in the season finale.
