Yota Tsuji is LIJ.
Ahead of NJPW Dominion, Yota Tsuji signed a contract to officially join Los Ingobernables de Japon. Tsuji returned from excursion at NJPW Wrestling Dontaku to confront former LIJ member and reigning IWGP World Heavyweight Champion SANADA.
Tsuji will challenge SANADA for the IWGP World Heavyweight Title at NJPW Dominion.
Another question from the press concerning Tsuji indicating that he would be part of Los Ingobernables De Japon would be batted away by the challenger, but when he and SANADA got ready for their photo session, Tetsuya Naito made a surprise appearance to huge cheers. When Naito asked Tsuji whether his chest bump in Fukuoka meant that he wanted to join LIJ, Tsuji responded in the affirmative. ‘I will be fighting in Japan from here on, and I want to do it in Los Ingobernables De Japon(… ) but are you ready? Because I plan on bringing LIJ and New Japan Pro-Wrestling to new heights.’
