NJPW star Yota Tsuji recently spoke with the company on a number of topics including his match with IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion David Finlay in the Dontaku tournament and how his main goal is still to split the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship back into its original lineages of the IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships.
Tsuji said, “I lost to him at Dontaku, so I’d like revenge. Beating him puts me closer to the IWGP Global Championship. Still, my main goal is the World Heavyweight Championship- I haven’t given up on breaking up that title.”
On potentially winning the Global Heavyweight Title:
“The Global belt is a big piece of that puzzle. Bring back the Intercontinental Championship, and people will be asking what happens to the Global? If I hold the Global Championship then I’ll have most say in what happens.”
