Ricochet and Zack Sabre Jr will clash at NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty on January 5th.
The bout was set up at NJPW Power Struggle when Ricochet attacked the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion and issued a challenge for the joint show at the Tokyo Dome.
After a shocking end to Power Struggle on November 4, the first match is official for Wrestle Dynasty on January 5 2025, as Ricochet and Zack Sabre Jr. will go one on one!
Ricochet made his presence felt, quite literally in Sabre’s case, with a springboard lariat that took the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion by surprise at the end of Power Struggle Monday. Taking the microphone, the former Best of the Super Jr. winner said that it was ‘time to show the world, I’m still the man around here’ before issuing a challenge for the world title.
Bydeclaring his spot for January 5, Ricochet is taking a gamble that Sabre will still be champion heading into Wrestle Dynasty. Either way though, with a physical shot to the TMDK frontman, Ricochet will have to answer for his actions come January 5 in the Tokyo Dome!
