Dwayne Johnson Gets Challenged By The NJPW Champion
Dwayne Johnsonhassurelykept himself busy as he had a lot of responsibilities for himself on the career front. Not onlyhe isfocused on his Hollywood career, butalsoreturned to the ring after ages as he took part in WrestleMania 40. Butthat’snot all because he joined the board of directors of TKO Group Holdings, the company that handles WWE and UFC.
In a recentinterviewwithWRESTHINGS, Gabe Kidd, the NJPW OpenweightChampionhas set his sights on The Brahma Bull because, during the interview, he not only challenged him for a match but also called him a“little part-timer.”He said,
Hey, fk The Rock as well.I’llbeat the st out of The Rock.I’llslap the sh*t out of The Rock, little part-timer. You want some real wrestling, come to New Japan.
Gabe Kidd is one of thosewrestlers,who does not hesitate to saywhat’son his mind.WhileWWE or NJPW do not have that working relationship, that will lead to organizing such matches. But that does not stop the champion from making such a bold challenge and bringing the fight to The Rock.

However, that does not discard the possibility of a potential matchin the near futurebecause, a lot of current wrestlers such as Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Bálor, Ricochet, AJ Styles, Robert Roode, and many more were once in NJPW, but are now competing in WWE. Hence, the possibility of a dream match betweenDwayne Johnsonand Gabe Kidd will always lurk in the shadows.
