At NJPW Wrestling Satsuma no Kuni, Tetsuya Naito, Shingo Takagi, and Yota Tsuji beat David Finlay, Gabe Kidd, and Gedo. In his post-match comments, Gabe Kidd looked forward to his NEVER Openweight Title match against Shingo Takagi at NJPW Wrestling Dontaku.
“Should I shout? Should I get angry? Start screaming? No. The battle line’s been drawn. Shingo, you want to talk about spirit to me? You want to talk about spirit to me? Saying I got fake spirit? The cameras might not have picked that up. I picked that up. You say I got fake spirit? You say this is fake? You say this heart underneath this breast is fake? Fake? You must be madder than me. Clear as day, this isn’t fake. February 4, that’s the real beginning of the new era. That’s the real beginning of the beginning of the new era because May 4, I will be crowned NEVER Openweight Champion, therefore making me the best wrestler in this company because the IWGP has become a fucking joke. A joke. Giving out title matches like it’s free milk. Are you fucking mad? But I don’t even need to get angry about that. I don’t need to waste my energy on that because the NEVER belt now acts as the IWGP. I don’t even say it right because fuck that belt. The NEVER belt signifies the best wrestler in this company, and the belt is being defended here, in the Japanese style, so that signifies the best. When I get my hand raised, when my hand gets raised and that belt is around my waist, you will all know I’m the greatest wrestler, not of this generation, not in this company, of all fucking time. Madder than all of you, crazier than all of you, and better than every single one of you,” Kidd said.
