Top NJPW star David Finlay spoke with the company on a number of topics, including wanting to make a statement at Wrestle Dynasty and face AEW star “Switchblade” Jay White in a match.
Finlay said, “I had the brief idea of wrestling Tony Khan in a Dog Pound Cage Match for all of his money, but I doubt he’s brave enough. I’ve beaten all there is to beat, so I have no issues. The one match I might think of is never going to happen for any number of reasons. Well, if our President Hiroshi Tanahashi was brave enough to lift a certain ban, and if a certain person would have the balls to come over, then I think there is a certain match people would want to see. If Tanahashi could lift a ban for one night so that I could face a certain somebody and banish them to never be seen again, maybe there’s something there. I don’t think Tony Khan wants to see another one of his toys smashed so I don’t see it happening though.”
White lost a Loser Leaves New Japan Match to Eddie Kingston in February of 2023 and was attacked by Finlay immediately following the match. Wrestle Dynasty is set to take place on Sunday, January 5th, 2025, the night after Wrestle Kingdom 19.
