I was about to, and I was ready to, but I didn\u2019t want to. New Japan is where I belong. If I was going to stay with New Japan, I needed to do it my way,\u201d Robinson said of signing a new contract. &#8220;That\u2019s what you\u2019re going to see. That\u2019s what you\u2019re going to hear. I now have the license to do this the way I want. You\u2019re about to see the real Juice. I\u2019m not cast in a new role or playing a part. You\u2019re about to see the truest version of myself, and I don\u2019t give a fuck if people have a problem with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Juice Robinson joined Bullet Club this month and will compete for the IWGP United States Championship at Capital Collision against Jon Moxley, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m supremely confident that I\u2019m going to win this match,&#8221; Robinson said. &#8220;I\u2019m a two-time IWGP United States champion. It\u2019s not like that\u2019s a scrub title. Moxley\u2019s had that belt. Kenny Omega\u2019s had that belt. Cody Rhodes had that belt. Jay White had that belt. Tanahashi has that belt, at least for now. I\u2019m shooting for my three-peat. When we step into the nation\u2019s capital, you\u2019re not going to see Day-One Juice or happy-to-be-here Juice. I\u2019m not smiling just to be on a card at Korakuen Hall. I\u2019m fucking coming for people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Capital Collision airs on Fite TV on May 13.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/05\/11\/ibushi-airs-out-frustrations-with-njpw-management-on-twitter-reveals-text-messages-with-member-of-talent-relations\/\">Ibushi airs out frustrations with NJPW management on Twitter, reveals text messages with member of talent relations<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-1672650868\"><div id=\"pwtor-1180828020\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Juice Robinson has signed a new contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling, but said that he needed to be able to do things his way if he was going to stay.
