A new wrestler is set to make his debut in New Japan Pro Wrestling and he clearly has his sights set on IWGP United States Champion Juice Robinson.
The promotion released a teaser during Wrestling Dontaku Day One, which showcases a wrestler seated in a bar wearing a jacket that says Death Machine on the back. There’s also a British patch on the side of the jacket.
An hourglass is turned over and the wrestler is carving the hourglass symbol into the bar counter as flashes of Juice Robinson appears on the television screen. The video concluded with the date June 5th. This is also the date of the Best of the Super Juniors final. This likely means the date of the challenger’s debut.
There’s no word on who the new talent is at the moment. Since defeating Cody at Wrestle Kingdom 13, Juice Robinson has proudly held and defended the IWGP United States Championship, but could this newcomer to the promotion put an end to the two-time IWGP US champion’s reign?
