Earlier this week, New Japan Pro Wrestling star Tetsuya Naito spoke with Sports Illustrated where he commented on the upcoming AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event, which takes place on June 26th in Chicago, IL.
During the interview, Naito said he had no plans to call any AEW wrestlers out because he knows they’ll do it for him. He said,
“There is no wrestler I want to call out. The reason is simple. Wrestlers in AEW will all gather and shout, ‘I want to wrestle Tetsuya Naito!’ and ‘I want to fight Los Ingobernables de Japon!’ It isn’t hard to see this happening. It won’t take long before it does.”
Ricky Starks decided to have a little fun with Naito’s comments with a recent tweet, saying:
“Regarding the Forbidden Door PPV:
There is no wrestler I want to call out… Wrestlers in NJPW will all gather & shout, ‘I want to wrestle Ricky Starks!’ and ‘I want to fight Team Taz!’ It won’t take long before it does.”
