Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) want to face FTR for the IWGP World Tag Team Championship, and they’re willing to have the match anywhere.
Fletcher challenged Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler to a match at NJPW Music City Mayhem, but the duo noted that they wanted to have the match in Japan.
In an interview with NJPW’s official website, Fletcher discussed this response and noted that he understood because FTR hasn’t wrestled in Japan yet. He made it clear that Aussie Open have wanted the titles since 2o18, and their hunger has only grown since then. When the match does happen, he vowed to win the gold.
“It doesn’t surprise me knowing FTR. They want to create a legacy and they haven’t been to Japan yet, so they want to take those titles to Japan,” said Fletcher. “Me and Davis, we’ve thrown dates back and forth between us, but it doesn’t matter when. Those IWGP Tag titles are belts we’ve wanted since we wrestled EVIL and SANADA back in 2018. We decided then that one day we will hold those titles. Royal Quest in 2019 only made us hungrier for those titles, and after having it all taken away from us, we’re more determined than ever. Whenever, wherever, we don’t care, we’ll be there and we’ll take them.”
FTR has been announced for Royal Quest II, NJPW’s two-night event in the United Kingdom, in October. When asked about the show, Davis emphasized that they’d be happy to face FTR on their home surf. If not, they intend to defend their NJPW STRONG Openweight Tag Team Championship.
“Like Kyle said, we’ll wrestle FTR wherever they want to go in the world, and if they want to go to the UK, on our home turf as a tag team, then we’ll be there waiting for them,” said Davis. “If not, we’ll put the STRONG tag titles on the line. We’re fighting champions and all we want to do is keep proving we’re the best.”
