Matt Riddle is coming to NJPW.
At NJPW New Year Dash, Matt Riddle appeared in a video message. He introduced himself and stated that he had his sights set on Hiroshi Tanahashi. Riddle said he would see him soon. Tanahashi then accepted Riddle’s challenge. As of this writing, there is no word on when the match will take place.
WWE released Riddle on September 22. He is a former WWE United States Champion and RAW Tag Team Champion. “The King of Bros” will make his return to MLW at MLW Kings of Colosseum, and now it seems like he will be working with NJPW as well.
Tanahashi was recently appointed the new NJPW President and Representative Director. At NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18, he beat Zack Sabre Jr. to win the NJPW World TV Championship.
WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.
