As many of you know, KENTA defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi to capture the IWGP United States Championship at the recent NJPW Power Struggle event. During a post-show media scrum, KENTA called out AEW Superstar. He said,
“I am the new IWGP United States Champion! I don’t know if you guys remember what I said when I came to New Japan in 2019. I said I’m here to prove who I am. After three years, I finally prove who the fuck I am, baby. I’m the United States Champion. It doesn’t matter if it’s going to happen or not, but I just want to entertain you guys. I want to give you guys a home. Hey CM Punk! I’m ready to put you (to) sleep. Officially new IWGP United States Champion.”
