A few weeks ago, Minoru Suzuki disbanded the Suzuki-gun, leaving all group members without a faction. His former stablemates Taichi, El Desperado, and others also remain without a stable.
TMDK, often known as The Mighty Don't Kneel, recently lost a crucial member in the form of Bronson Reed. The popular star left New Japan Pro-Wrestling to rejoin WWE.

Zack Sabre Jr. will aim to build up the TMDK faction and establish its place as a dominant group among the likes of Bullet Club, CHAOS, and the United Empire. Going forward, the 35-year-old will also aim to defend his World Television Championship simultaneously.
