Bryan Danielson is not finished with Zack Sabre Jr.

Following ZSJ’s victory over Danielson on Sunday’s NJPW The New Beginning in Osaka show, Danielson challenged him to a best two-of-three falls match on neutral ground.

Danielson said:

The best technical wrestler in the world, it’s not me anymore, it’s Zack Sabre Jr. I hope the Japanese fans appreciate every time we get to see him. 

Danielson continued:

I didn’t tap out, but he caught me. To be fair, if I’m going to give myself the benefit of the doubt, I think I might want one more. I beat him in AEW, he beat me in New Japan, I say we do two out of three falls somewhere on neutral ground and I’ll leave it at that.

Let’s find a promoter, any promoter in the world who wants to do a two out of three falls match with me and Zack Sabre Jr, we’ll find a way to get it done. Thank you, guys, and god bless New Japan, I love this place. 

Danielson defeated ZSJ at AEW WrestleDream in Seattle last year. The match was rated five-and-a-half stars by our own Dave Meltzer. It was the first match they’d had since 2009. 

Danielson defeated ZSJ in their first match in 2008, which was also a two-out-of-three falls match. The following year, ZSJ defeated Danielson in WXW’s 16 Carat Gold tournament in Germany.
