MJF Appears Via Video At NJPW Road To KOPW, Challenges Ryohei Oiwa
MJF could be coming to NJPW.
After Ryohei Oiwa and Zack Sabre Jr defeated Yota Tsuji and Ares at NJPW Road to King of Pro-Wrestling on October 7, the lights went down and the One True Champion appeared on the screen.
MJF said that NJPW isn’t a real company that doesn’t matter and every top star has left because they know NJPW is second rate. He said Oiwa was the best NJPW has to offer, and if he beats him, then he’s one step closer to locking the Forbidden Door and ending NJPW.
He said that he was going to beat Oiwa with a headlock takeover and that he was willing to put the Triple B on the line, before officially challenging Oiwa to a match.
