Statement from our NEVER Openweight Champion


Y’all lights ain’t bright enough in Nov 5th, NJPW.

  1. I don’t really see the endgame there.

    If it’s real and they decide to fuck over NJPW, where they got friends, guy like Rocky with a management position, it’s really bad.

    If it’s not, what’s the fucking point?

    From what I can remember, New Japan don’t reschedule title defence, you are either there and you have the match or you are not and you get your title taken away.

  2. Well by NJPW rules of a champion misses a scheduled title defense, the title will be vacated and the challenger will face a different opponent (like what happened when Archer won the US belt)

    But I kinda doubt they did this video because they wanted to, there’s no way WWE would ever let anyone do an NJPW match while under contract

  3. I don’t see this being a work, but literally never know, I guess. Best case scenario, NJPW just vacated the belt and ignores this last, horrid run from Anderson & Gallows. They can go enjoy the Saudi money while Karl gets clowned for seemingly having no integrity based off his statements about how he’d never go back to WWE, that HHH manipulated them to stay with WWE in 2019, the whole cheating on his wife “angle”, saying the infamous Saudi trip was a hostage situation, etc, only to go back to WWE and possibly fuck over New Japan.

    *There’s some people in the squaredcircle thread really trying to make some leaps to suggest this is a work and most of them seem to be either SCJerkers or just people who only talk about WWE, so not shocking?*

    If this is a work in the end, it feels like an incredibly dumb one that gets nobody over. Like what is gained by this? WWE isn’t acknowledging the NEVER belt or New Japan on programming.

    This would be like if all of the build (or lack thereof) to Forbidden Door took place on twitter, with no acknowledgment from AEW.

  4. New Japan Policy: If a Title Match Is Announced, and the Champion Can’t Make It…They Are Stripped!

    Except for Karl Anderson

  5. Couldn’t care less at this point. It’s obvious they don’t care about New Japan so they should be stripped of their title and blacklisted.

  6. This is a promo worded very carefully to imply that Karl would be at WK like he’s claiming. I will be extremely curious to see if he actually isn’t bluffing on appearing.

  7. Tama to beat KA so badly he becomes a NJPW legend for defending it’s honour? Weird storyline or not, it’ll be worth it so long as KA never returns to NJPW.

  8. I would like to thank Karl Anderson for saving me from having to watch a Karl Anderson match live

  9. This must be a work, at least in the sense of how they are going to solve the situation now once they are WWE boys again.

    Could it be as simple as they are doing this in order to give NJPW an official reason to strip him of the title?

    Or can it still be that this is an angle leading to him being forced to defend the title in some fashion and drop it?
