Zack Sabre Jr. comments on following Gabe Kidd vs Kenny Omega at Wrestle Dynasty.
At AEW x NJPW Wrestle Dynasty, Kenny Omega made his long awaited return to the ring from diverticulitis to take on Gabe Kidd in singles action. The bout was a brutal affair, with Kenny scoring the victory off a One Winged Angel after 30 minutes.
While speaking to NJPW in a new interview, Zack was asked about following Kidd vs Omega.
"I was warming up and I could hear the crowd. Gabe and Kenny was a match rooted in a lot of emotion and deeper meaning. Me and Ricochet was essentially an exhibition match- we'd only had one interaction when he surprised me in Osaka and then nothing for two months. My priority had to be promoting the January 4 match with Shota. But it was a remarkable match, and I'm happy for the fans they were able to see something like that. My purpose was really to make sure I defended the IWGP World Heavyweight title from an outsider."
Zack was then prompted further about Kidd vs Omega, with the note that it was a great match.
"It was a very physical match, but it was just about each of us fighting to be the champion. So it was never going to be comparable to Gabe and Kenny and that's fine."
Zack would go on to score the victory over Ricochet in the main event of Wrestle Dynasty.
