The former WWE Superstar will face Okada in what will be Matthews’ debut match for New Japan Pro Wrestling. A few weeks ago, NJPW aired an incredible promo to hype up the debut of Buddy Matthews. Shortly afterward, the former WWE star himself took to Twitter to hint towards a match against Okada.
As things turned out, a match between the two was eventually confirmed, as Okada is set to make his way to the US for the first time in years:
NJPW’s Battle in the Valley will feature a handful of other matches including Buddy Matthews vs. Kazuchika Okada
In addition to Buddy Matthews vs. Kazuchika Okada, NJPW’s Battle in the Valley will feature Jay White defending his NEVER Openweight Championship against Tomohiro Ishii. Will Ospreay will face Ren Narita in a singles match, as well.
IMPACT Wrestling Champion Moose will also be in action against Juice Robinson. The United Empire’s Jeff Cobb and TJP will team up for a match against Karl Fredericks & Clark Connors.
