Ares made a big impression in his NJPW debut back on October 7th, wrestling his first match in Korakuen Hall. Now, Ares will face off against the man he teamed up with on that day, the IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Yota Tsuji.
The challenge was made at a Vietnam Pro Wrestling show in Ho Chi Minh City. While Ares was in the ring, decked out in his NJPW tracksuit, a video of Tsuji came up on the venue’s screen. After praising Ares’ development, Tsuji said:
You still have unfinished business. Yota Tsuji vs. Ares—singles match. Fortunately, we have Unbound show November 20th. November 20, Yota Tsuji vs. Ares. Ares, please come back to Japan. Are you ready?
Ares took the microphone and enthusiastically accepted the challenge. The bout with Tsuji is sure to be the biggest match in Ares’ career, as well as a landmark match pitting Japan’s top champion against the finest Vietnam has to offer.
