Brody King answering Wrestle Dynasty open challenge
Brody King is coming to the Tokyo Dome on January 5 for a match against David Finlay.
At NJPW’s World Tag League show on Thursday, a video aired where King announced that he is answering Finlay’s Wrestle Dynasty open challenge. The House of Black member issued a warning to Finlay and the Bullet Club War Dogs.
“You have cemented yourself as one of the most dangerous men in New Japan Pro Wrestling. From the carcass, you took the discarded pieces and you built a dynasty,” King said. “On January 5, at Wrestle Dynasty, I will take your dynasty and turn it back into a carcass. David Finlay, your War Dogs are all bark. This dog bites.”
Finlay is defending his IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship against Yota Tsuji at Wrestle Kingdom 19 on January 4. Last month, he issued an open invitation for Wrestle Dynasty — challenging anyone from any promotion to face him. Finlay said he would retain against Tsuji at Wrestle Kingdom and then needed a challenger for January 5.
In AEW, King is participating in the Continental Classic and has a 1-1 record in his first Gold League matches. He’s defeated Darby Allin and lost to Claudio Castagnoli.
Wrestle Dynasty is set to include competitors from NJPW, AEW, Stardom, CMLL, and ROH. Among the matches already set are Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Ricochet, Kenny Omega vs. Gabe Kidd, and an IWGP Tag Team title bout between Great-O-Khan & HENARE and The Young Bucks.
