In the upcoming Wrestle Dynasty 2025, spectators will witness a riveting showdown between AEW’s premier stars and a significant player from New Japan in January next year.
Ricochet is all geared up to battle it out with Zack Sabre Jr. in an impressive lineup. The context for this clash was laid down when Ricochet ambushed the British player at the NJPW Power Struggle event.
Below lies the official statement of the engagement:
“After the astonishing finale of Power Struggle on November 4, the first fight has been set for Wrestle Dynasty, occurring on January 5, 2025. The duel between Ricochet and Zack Sabre Jr. is now a certainty!
“With a springboard lariat, Ricochet surely made his mark, quite literally in Sabre’s case. This unexpected move left the reigning IWGP World Heavyweight Champion flabbergasted at the conclusion of Power Struggle. Picking up the mic, the ex-Best of the Super Jr. victor proclaimed it’s ‘time to show the world, I’m still the man around here’ and went on to challenge for the world title.
“By declaring his position for January 5, Ricochet is taking a risk assuming that Sabre will maintain his title till Wrestle Dynasty. Regardless, after launching a physical punt to the TMDK leader, Ricochet will have to stand accountable for his moves on January 5 in the Tokyo Dome!”
After Sabre Jr. retained the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship successfully, he was unexpectedly attacked by Ricochet at the NJPW Power Struggle earlier this month.
The Tokyo Dome will be the host for Wrestle Dynasty 2025 on January 5 and the event will be graced by talent from wrestling franchises such as AEW, NJPW, Ring of Honor, CMLL, and STARDOM.
