Zack Sabre Jr. will face Matt Riddle at NJPW ‘Windy City Riot’ 2024, and he cut a promo on the NJPW World TV Champion following the Sakura Genesis event.
Sabre spoke about Riddle in a backstage promo, calling the former WWE Superstar the “King of F**king D**kheads.” He said,
“Last week, I sent Fujita to bring the NJPW World Television Championship back. Didn’t quite work out. First of all, I sent Bad Dude Tito. I thought he was gonna get the job done. But Matt Riddle might look like a f**king d**khead — because he is a d**khead — but he’s a serious fighter. One year with that championship, sixteen defenses. You’re gonna call me out, King of f**king D**kheads? You’re gonna call me out? Well, I’m gonna come and get the belt back, and I’ll bring it back to Japan.”
He continued, “The sight of you with that championship makes me violently ill. I don’t know what it is about Riddle. We’ve wrestled all over the world. I should like, what is he, laid-back, surfer, skater bro. I’ve lived in Okinawa. I’ve lived in California. I should love surfers and skaters. f**king hippies. I hate them all. Hippies are my mortal enemy. Surfer bros. They’re my mortal enemy. I’m the least spiritual being in the world. Unlike animals because humans are f**king c**ts. But Chicago, Riddle…then, after, I’ve got to figure out how to get the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship because my goals are exactly the same. G1, IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, Tokyo Dome main event. World Champion.”
