It may be Von Wagner’s world, but Ikemen Jiro is sick of living in it.
After repeated attacks and being launched from the ring into the crowd at NXT Arena, Jiro is ready for some long-awaited retribution against the towering Superstar.
For weeks, Wagner has terrorized the NXT locker room with random and devastating attacks, including the horrendous ambush that left Jiro sidelined for weeks.
