After the annoucement, Black and Mayhew shared their thoughts ahead of their debut in Japan competing for GLEAT, exclusively to Monthly Puroresu.

Black: “I cannot wait to come to GLEAT, Joe has told me so many good things about them! Wrestling in Japan has been a dream of mine since I started wrestling & the fact I get to do it now with my best friends with me, couldn’t dream of a better way to make my Japanese debut.”

Mayhew: “I’m sure I speak for all three of us when I say this is a tremendous honour. For most wrestlers, performing in Japan is a lifelong dream, and I’m incredibly grateful to GLEAT for making this opportunity possible. We’re beyond excited to meet the GLEAT fans in Tokyo this November. Hopefully, this will be the first of many trips to Japan for CPF!”
