Speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Robinson emphasized that he isn’t representing NJPW anymore. He stated that he doesn’t have unfinished business there, and they have gone their separate ways.
“I’m no longer representing New Japan, and I want that to be clear,” Robinson said. “I carried that New Japan flag for seven years. I’ve got no unfinished business there. I sang that song and I danced that dance, and we’ve gone our separate ways. That’s in the rearview mirror. I’m totally free right now. I’ll fight whoever, wherever and whenever I want as long as it’s the right match against the right opponent on the right night of the week. Dynamite is the hottest show, and I’m wrestling their champ on the hottest night of the week in wrestling. This is the biggest match of my career, and I’m ready for it.”
Robinson will face AEW World Champion Jon Moxley in a World Title Eliminator match on the September 28 episode of AEW Dynamite.
