Rey Mysterio Appears in Video Package at NJPW Event

It appears New Japan Pro Wrestling is bringing the heavy hitters for their return to North America.

During "The New Beginning in Osaka” event, a video package played and former WWE champion Rey Mysterio appeared. He challenged fellow wrestling legend Jushin Thunder Liger to a match at Strong Style Evolved. Liger was seen at the Japanese commentary table and he seemed to be intrigued by the challenge.

Strong Style Evolved takes place on March 25 inside the Walter Pyramid in Long Beach, California. Around 4,500 tickets were sold out in just 20 minutes. While no matches have been officially added to the card as of this writing, it’s safe to say we’ll be seeing Mysterio take on Liger.

Mysterio last appeared in the public eye at the WWE’s men’s Royal Rumble match. He was a surprise entrant, taking the 27th spot.
