Zack Sabre Jr. wants his title shot early.
New Japan Pro Wrestling held the final event of their G1 Climax 34 tournament on August 18th, with Zack Sabre Jr. and Yota Tsuji wrestling in the finals for the tournament win and a future IWGP Title shot at Wrestle Kingdom in January. The match would be a back and forth affair, with both men having their strong and weak points in the bout. In the end, Sabre Jr. would force Yota to submit in order to win the tournament.
After the match in his post-match comments, Sabre Jr. noted that he did not want to wait until Wrestle Kingdom to challenge for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
"As a fan, I think it's boring as bollocks waiting until Tokyo Dome for the title match. I'm not waiting any longer. It had to be at Ryogoku Kokugikan. This is my favourite place in the world to wrestle. I'm going to be returning to England as the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion and I will make my first defence at Royal Quest IV."
