Gabe Kidd To Cody Rhodes: Stay Out Of My Territory Before I Slap You Up And Take Your Belt Again

That's a warning.

NJPW star Gabe Kidd took to Twitter/X to respond to a post from Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, who used an eyeball emoji to react to another post that highlighted WWE's upcoming return to Japan. Kidd warned Rhodes to stay out of his territory before he slapped him up and took his belt again.

Kidd included a clip in which he can be seen pinning Rhodes. Kidd previously pinned Rhodes in a three-way match that included Joe Hendry at WCPW No Regrets in 2017. With the win, he won Rhodes' WCPW Internet Title.

Needless to say, a lot has changed since then. Rhodes is the face of WWE and the reigning Undisputed WWE Champion. Kidd recently scored a big win when he beat Eddie Kingston to capture the NEVER Openweight Championship at NJPW Resurgence.

As noted, WWE will return to Japan for the first time since 2019 with three live events in July. More information is available here.
