Ricochet: Zack Sabre Jr And I Are At A Different Time In Our Lives, But I’m Still The F*cking Man Around Here

Ricochet wants to prove again that he is that damn great.

At NJPW Power Struggle, Zack Sabre Jr successfully defended his IWGP Heavyweight Championship in the main event before he was confronted by AEW’s Ricochet who would challenge ZSJ right off the bat and let him know he was coming for the gold at the start of the new year.

Now, Ricochet wanted to let Sabre Jr know that despite the two being at a different time in their lives, Ricochet is still the man in NJPW.

“I came back to New Japan Pro Wrestling to prove a point. That point is that I, Ricochet, am still the man around here. Seems like everyone has just forgotten about the things that I have done. Seems like everyone has just forgotten about the career that I have had. It seems like people have forgotten what I’ve done here in New Japan Pro Wrestling. So what better way to make an impact than to just come out and challenge the champion. Zack and I, we traveled the globe together. Whether it’s been all across America, Europe, Germany, Australia, even here in Japan. We’ve traveled the world, we’ve battled all over. But Zack, it’s different. You’re different, I’m different, we’re at a different time in our lives. I may have been gone, I may have taken a little hiatus for a while but I am back and I am still the fucking man around here. So at January 5th, people are gonna find out all over the world that I am not from here, I am out of this world.”

Ricochet is also involved in a feud with the current AEW International Champion, Konosuke Takeshita.
