AEW star Katsuyori Shibata spoke with Tokyo Sports on a number of topics, including how he has his sights set on the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at this year’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door PPV.
Shibata said, “It’s probably only possible at this point in time that Goto has. If there is a possibility, it would be ‘Fоrbidden Dооr (FD),’ and if he holds it to that level, the possibilities would be all over the place. I don’t want to give up on my dream, because my dream is to make it come true. The rest depends on Goto’s efforts.”
On his exhibition match with Hiroshi Tanahashi:
“It was a five-minute match at the Dome, but we promised each other to do it again and stand in the same ring. If (Tanahashi) wins the belt this time… let’s have it at Forbidden Door.”
