Zack Sabre Jr. says TMDK is all going to the top.

At NJPW Destruction in Kobe, Ryohei Oiwa was revealed as the newest member of TMDK, as he teamed up with Zack Sabre Jr. and Kosei Fujita to defeat SANADA, Taichi, and TAKA Michinoku.

In his post-match comments, Sabre Jr. commented on Oiwa joining TMDK.

“That’s what I’m talking about. This was destined. I always wanted Oiwa and Fujita together, but there was one man, one of the most important men in the history of my career, Yoshinari Ogawa, and Ogawa-San is a very difficult man to please. But I was paying a lot of attention to Oiwa in NOAH, and when Ogawa-San says Oiwa was doing good, Ogawa-San’s good is amazing. So it was destined, actually, no. Fuck destiny. You control what you want. So Oiwa had to come in TMDK, and then he’s not starting from the bottom. Next NEVER [Openweight] Champion,” Sabre Jr. said.

Sabre Jr. then looked forward to the future as he said that he would become the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. He stated that TMDK as a whole would be at the top of NJPW, and they would lead the company to bigger heights.

“Next month, I stop being the G1 winner, and I start being the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. I’m gonna be the top of New Japan. TMDK [will be] on top. We’re all getting to the fucking top, baby. New Japan starts from Ryogoku, and TMDK are gonna lead New Japan not to heights, to bigger heights. [NJPW] is the best wrestling company in the world. TMDK is gonna make it fucking better,” Sabre Jr. said.

Sabre Jr. also said that TMDK was coming after every single title in NJPW. 

At NJPW King of Pro Wrestling,  Sabre Jr. will challenge Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
