Shota Umino took to Twitter to challenge Jack Perry to a match in Ryogoku, while referring to CM Punk.
A backstage brawl between Perry and Punk at All In 2023 led to the latter’s firing and Perry’s suspension from AEW.
Shota tweeted, “I feel like I’ve been itching to fight the mansion while watching the world. If he intervenes, other units will step in and help out the players who are fighting, but we always stick to ourselves, so have confidence. That’s it. Also, Jack Perry. It’s clobberin’ time. It’s time for punishment, including the mansion.
Now, spring in Ryogoku. Would you like me to repay you everything, including the debts you’ve owed so far?”
ずっとずっとワールド見ながら館と戦いたくてうずうずしてるみたい。
彼が、他のユニットは介入されたら戦ってる選手にセコンドが手を出して助けてくれるけど、俺らはいつも己を貫いてるから自信を持て。だとさ。
あと、ジャックベリー。
It's clobberin' time.
館も含めてお仕置の時間だ。… https://t.co/JPyM5WAU87— 海野 翔太 / Shota Umino (@Shooter_us) March 20, 2024
Taking to Twitter, IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion Nic Nemeth challenged Tomohiro Ishii to a match at NJPW Windy City Riot. The event will be held in Chicago, IL on April 12.
Nemeth had initially challenged Hiroshi Tanahashi to a match at NJPW Sakura Genesis, but The Ace was out with an ankle injury.
Nemeth tweeted, “New Japan Pro Wrestling, it’s me, Nic Nemeth, The Wanted Man, your IWGP Global Champion, and I want nothing more than to defend that title all over the world against the best of the best. The reason that I came to New Japan was to test myself against some of the greatest of all time, and someone that I think is one of the greatest of all time, the president, Tanahashi, I want my very first title defense to be against you. The second you are 100%, we will be eye-to-eye in that ring with the title on the line, and we will burn it to the ground. Until then, I will take on anyone, any time, any place. I see New Japan has a show coming up in Chicago, April 12, Windy City Riot. You better believe The Wanted Man is gonna be there, and I’m calling you out because I want the hardest hitters there. Tomohiro Ishii, Ishii versus The Wanted Man. Windy City Riot. You hit hard, but I hit harder. Chicago, April 12, let’s rock.”
