A few weeks ago, Minoru Suzuki disbanded the Suzuki-gun, leaving all group members without a faction. His former stablemates Taichi, El Desperado, and others also remain without a stable.

TMDK, often known as The Mighty Don't Kneel, recently lost a crucial member in the form of Bronson Reed. The popular star left New Japan Pro-Wrestling to rejoin WWE.

I've always wanted Zack Sabre Jr to sneak up and win G1 and then surprise win the IWGP Title. But I'll take him being the first ever TV Champion and joining TMDK 🔥🔥🔥
