Zack Sabre Jr. will be in action at NJPW Power Struggle.
NJPW announced that Zack Sabre Jr. will face Shingo Takagi at NJPW Power Struggle on November 4th. Plus, SANADA will face Shota Umino. One of these matches will be for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, depending on what happens at NJPW Royal Quest IV. There, Sabre Jr. will defend the title against SANADA.
From NJPW:
In the moments following Zack Sabre Jr.’s monumental IWGP World Heavyweight Championship win Monday at King of Pro-Wrestling, it didn’t take long for his first challengers to emerge. First SANADA would appear, and as promised Sabre granted a request to put the world title on the line in the main event of Royal Quest Sunday in London.
After that though, Shota Umino wanted to throw his hat in the ring, despite an icy reception from Sumo Hall. That brought out Shingo Takagi who also wanted a shot. Umino rebuffed the Dragon saying that he had beaten both Takagi and ZSJ during the G1 Climax; SANADA can lay claim to G1 wins over both the Roughneck and the Dragon himself.
It all led to SANADA and Sabre drawing names out of an envelope to determine who they would face at Power Struggle November 4. Sabre drew the NEVER Openweight Champion Takagi, while SANADA picked SHota Umino. Those two matches are now official, and depending ont he result of the Royal Quest main event, one of the two will be for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, live in English on NJPW World!
