Ricochet returned to New Japan Pro-Wrestling at NJPW Power Struggle, taking out Zack Sabre Jr.
ZSJ was basking in his successful title defense over Shingo Takagi in the main event, when Ricochet's music hit.
ZSJ looked at the entrance ramp, only to be attacked from behind with springboard clothesline by Ricochet.
Ricochet formally congratulated ZSJ on winning the IWGP World Heavyweight Title, and then challenged him for NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty on January 5th.
As Ricochet was about to deliver a Killshot, Shota Umino made the save. ZSJ didn't want Shota's help, but was on the receiving end of a Death Rider after he attacked Shota.
Before Ricochet went after ZSJ, the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion agreed to give Shota a shot at the title at a date to be determined.
