Zack Sabre Jr. returning to GCW for two shows
NJPW star Zack Sabre Jr. is coming to the United States next month to work a couple of dates for Game Changer Wrestling.
Sabre will be in action for the indie promotion in Los Angeles, California on Saturday, March 1 and Mesa, Arizona on Sunday, March 2. He’s returning to GCW for the first time since 2023. Opponents for Sabre have not been announced yet.
The Los Angeles event is titled “The Coldest Winter 3” and is taking place from the Ukrainian Cultural Center. “Just Being Honest” is the name of the Mesa show, which is being held at The Nile Theater. Both shows will air live via TrillerTV+.
At the New Beginning in Osaka earlier this week, Sabre’s four-month reign as IWGP World Heavyweight Champion came to an end when he was dethroned by Hirooki Goto. Sabre will have the chance to earn a rematch against Goto when he competes in New Japan Cup 2025.
Sabre made his GCW in May 2023 with a victory over Tony Deppen. He also defeated Jordan Oliver and Nick Gage in matches for GCW that year.
