AJPW’s Xyon Returning To Rugby On October 17th
Xyon is stepping back onto the field.
Former All Japan Pro Wrestling World Tag Team Champion Xyon is set to return to the rugby field. He’ll be playing in an exhibition match on October 17th at The Wern Sports Stadium in Wales.
Xyon gave the following comments to AJPW:
“I’m really excited to put on my rugby boots again. Whether I’m in the ring or on the rugby field, my style is the same—I never leave a single drop of fuel in the tank. I always give it my all—not just with my body, but with my entire soul.”
