Following the event, Kingston warned that Kidd has made a dangerous enemy in him with more dangerous friends. It seems that Kidd would have no time to prepare for these dangerous friends as they would be revealed at the last second only.

Kidd is coming out of a 5-vs-5 tornado tag team steel cage match at The New Beginning in Osaka event earlier today where War Dogs defeated The United Empire.

NJPW Windy City Riot 2024 is scheduled to take place on April 12 at Wintrust Arena in Chicago, IL. Jon Moxley is set to challenge for IWGP World Heavyweight Championship while Mustafa Ali will clash with Hiromu Takahashi in a singles match.
