Zack Sabre Jr. is interested in facing several of AEW‘s top stars.
The working relationship between AEW and NJPW has led to plenty of crossover matches, and many are still on the table. IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Sabre Jr. has competed for AEW multiple times, and he has his sights set on some noteworthy names.
In an interview with NJPW’s website, Zack Sabre Jr. was asked to name which AEW stars he’d like to face. He responded by pointing to Swerve Strickland and MJF. He also mentioned Darby Allin as another possibility.
“There’s a lot. The laziest names to say would be Okada and Ospreay, so I won’t say them,” Sabre Jr. said. “I’d like to wrestle people that haven’t been to Japan yet, like Swerve Strickland or MJF. I’ve wrestled Daniel Garcia and Orange Cassidy before, but the AEW wrestlers that haven’t really had notoriety in WWE are appealing to me.
“There’s also a lot of people I know from my independent career. Myself and Darby Allin have had a lot of matches on the independents. When it comes to a Forbidden Door in England this year, obviously me and Ospreay would be a fantastic match but I think it would be good to do something different.”
