NJPW held their G1 Climax 34 Day 2 event, and it saw Zack Sabre Jr. defeat reigning IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Naito in a tournament match. Sabre Jr. spoke with the company shortly after the show on a number of topics including defeating Naito.
Sabre Jr. said, โIโve had a lot of fights with Tetsuya Naito, especially in the G1.โ โHeโs f***ed my G1, I f***ed his G1. I think we both agree, neither of us enjoys wrestling the other person. But Iโll tell you what I did enjoy, pinning the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. But Iโve done that before in a G1 block. Iโm not getting my title match that way.โ
โTop of the block, Zack Sabre, top of the block. Iโve changed my mind. Iโm winning the block to prove a point. Thereโs only one man that [will win] the G1 Climax, and youโre looking at him. I am Strong Style, and the cup is mine.โ
