Jushin “Thunder” Liger Speaks to the WWE Universe

The WWE Universe had its first opportunity to hear from Justin “Thunder” Liger before we see him in action later this month.

Earlier today, a tweet sent from Triple H contained a video from Liger promoting the upcoming “NXT Takeover: Brooklyn” event that will be held the night before “SummerSlam” on Aug. 22 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. At the show, Liger will be entering a WWE ring for the first time, taking on Tyler Breeze.

Below is a transcript of Liger’s message:

“I am Jushin “Thunder” Liger from New Japan Pro Wrestling. I will be taking part in WWE NXT Takeover on August 22nd and I will be facing Tyler Breeze. I am excited to enter the WWE ring as this is the first time for me. I would like to ask and thank the WWE Universe for their support.”

It has been previously reported that Liger is bring brought in as a political move against ROH, who have been booking events in the same cities where WWE has been hosting their big events like “SummerSlam” and WrestleMania. Liger is an international superstar, competing several times in the United States. He most recently took part in the ROH vs. New Japan series in May of this year, and has also spent time in TNA, as well as WCW back in the ’90s.

Editor’s Note:

I have fond memories of watching Liger back in WCW, and I was very excited to hear of his upcoming match. His unique ring style, combined with the upcoming talent of Tyler Breeze is going to make for a special event for all that will be watching!
