today Zack Sabre Jr.
Submits EVERYONE!
Maybe, come Wrestling Media Con in September - going by his record over the last two weeks
- Zack Sabre Jr. will have submitted everyone on the planet [IMAGE SIDE SCREEN].
In what’s being praised as one of the best pieces of star-making booking in modern times,
the former Cruiserweight Classic competitor has just won the New Japan Cup - making him
the first ever British wrestler to do so.
Sabre Jr. celebrated with the very English tweet: “Bloody did it.”.
Zack only debuted in New Japan last year as part of the Suzuki Gun faction - and his tournament
run saw him tap out four of the promotion’s biggest stars: WrestleKingdom 12 headliner
Tetsuya Naito, Kenny Omega’s tag team partner Kota Ibushi, current IWGP Tag Team Champion
Sanada and, in the final, New Japan’s biggest star of the last decade Hiroshi Tanahashi.
Sabre Jr. explained how his submission style is here to take New Japan over in a scathing
promo on the Bullet Club: “‘(New Japan) used to be built around
submissions and now a British person in skinny jeans has to remind you of your traditions.
Everyone’s focused on American bulls***, looking at cameras and having Tshirts’”
Sabre’s win sets up an IWGP Heavyweight title match against Champion Kazuchika Okada
at Sakura Genesis on the 1st April - one of New Japan’s biggest shows of the year.
This marks the first time a UK wrestler has had a shot at New Japan’s top title since
William Regal 23 years ago.
Okada’s match with Will Ospreay earlier this month was, of course, a non-title bout.
Speaking of future championship shots… segue Roman Reigns Post-WrestleMania 34 Plans Leaked
The plan has been for Roman Reigns to beat Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title at WrestleMania
34 since last March , with the Beast Incarnate’s WWE contract expiring after the April 8th
show, but what will Roman’s first feud be following his championship win?
The latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting “there are plans for [Samoa] Joe
vs. Reigns after WrestleMania for the title” - which likely rules Joe out of being Braun
Strowman’s surprise tag team partner at Mania against The Bar.
This is backed up by adverts for the 7th May Monday Night Raw promoting Joe vs Roman, like
this one sent in by Christos Petrou Joe has been out with a foot injury since
the New Year’s Day Raw, scrapping a planned feud with John Cena.
But he’s apparently nearing a return, as he was reportedly backstage at this week’s
Raw, and just two weeks ago he teased his comeback on Instagram - with a bloodied drawing
of him holding the Universal Championship and the caption ‘Soon’.
