AEW, NJPW, ROH, and CMLL are slated to host Wrestle Dynasty on January 5, 2025, at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, the night after NJPW’s Wrestle Kingdom 19.
This marks the first AEW pay-per-view event in Japan. Now, the first match has been confirmed for the show after a recent angle was done.
At Monday’s NJPW Power Struggle event, Ricochet returned to Japan to take out Zack Sabre Jr, who had just retained the IWGP Heavyweight Title over Shingo Takagi in the main event. Ricochet attacked him from behind.
Ricochet then confronted the champion about winning the title before issuing the match challenge for the upcoming event. On Wednesday, the promotion confirmed the bout.
Former AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks have already confirmed their attendance at the show. In the coming weeks, more matches will be announced.
