--- First of all, how was the atmosphere of Tokyo Dome?

Cody:
"Tokyo Dome has a very important meaning to me, in addition to being important as the Dome by itself, SNS repeatedly said, but (WWE)" Wrestlemania ", (TNA It was a big deal for me to have played with "WRESTLE KINGDOM" which is just as big as "BOUND FOR GLORY" and "FINAL BATTLE". Today, at this dome competition, I am able to do it and I am honored to win that match."

--- I think I won in front of the big crowd and made an impression. What kind of athletes you would like to have in New Japan in the future?

Cody:
"There is one answer to that question, what my father used to say from long ago: It is not important to participate in big events, it is important to win at a big event". I think I was able to appeal firmly (as a result of winning), but from the time I enter the ring until I come to this interview site, I think that a good long relationship can be built with New Japan from now on".

--- Juice Robinson who was your major rival was trained by the same coach with you, so does it make you feel close to him?

Cody:
"To have the same background as having the same coach is one thing in common, and along with that, walking a similar path with him is also important. He has his own intention to make WWE. Apart from that, I entered Dojo and got trained. I also left WWE with my own intention and came to this New Japan. This is also one thing in common. This is a nice guy Juice ・ Robinson who came to Japan, joined Dojo, started from the basic parts, and has become a wonderful wrestler performing in front of not less than a ten thousand people. I am very happy that he is surely going to be a wrestler who will be entrusted with big matches regardless of which group he or she is, and he himself has a great presence as a father, a great presence as a leader I always felt close, but I'm very pleased to be able to face a wrestler with the same mindset in this important game. "

Cody:
"Let me say from my side. First, let me say the words “Thank you”! Thanks to New Japan, BULLET CLUB, and thanks to everyone who gave me the opportunity to come to Japan I want to do my best to be able to participate in the next "WRESTLE KINGDOM." Thank you"


Juice:
"I'd like to express my love for those who support New Japan for the first time, and for those who supported me. For the last year and a half I cheered myself! In September 2015 I came from the United States as a young lion and I've been working from the beginning and because of your support, I think that I could have grown bigger than I had imagined, and my respect and trust for New Japan I have will continue to be in my mind forever. This time, I asked myself for Cody and I gave it to Shin Nippon and it did not win I realized everything I wanted to do. That is the most regrettable thing in my life. But today I think that Cody had better days but it is very difficult to describe such hard feeling now that we have to get off the ring in front of 40,000 people after defeat. But I will make an effort to go out to G1 in 2017. Tomorrow the match is over so I'd like to drink a cold beer. Thank you"
