Nakagawa participated in a tournament for the newly created Independent World Junior Heavyweight Championship, in which he defeated Eiji Ezaki in the opening round but injured his arm, which put him out of action and Ezaki replaced him in the semi-final round. Nakagawa returned to FMW on November 19 by losing to Masato Tanaka. At the 5th Anniversary Show on May 5, 1994, Nakagawa teamed with Battle Ranger Z and Masato Tanaka to defeat the Michinoku Pro Wrestling's team of The Great Sasuke, Hanzo Nakajima and Shiryu. In his next major match later that year at Summer Spectacular, Nakagawa teamed with Katsutoshi Niiyama and Tetsuhiro Kuroda to defeat Battle Ranger Z, Masato Tanaka and Gosaku Goshogawara.
