Professional wrestling career

New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2016-2020)

After finishing his training, he would sign a contract with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, adopting the name of Tony Quinn and making his debut in the summer of 2016, taking part in the G1 Climax Tournament, ultimately being unsuccessful in winning the tournament. He would then enter a rivalry with Hiroshi Tanahashi, being defeated by the latter on two occasions throughout the fall. Their rivalry would come to an end at Wrestle-Kingdom on January 8, 2017, once again being defeated.

During the spring and going into the summer, he would once again take part in the G1 Climax Tournament, once again being unsuccessful in winning the tournament. At Wrestle Kingdom on January 7, 2018, he would defeat Juice Robinson in a very well-received match to become the IWGP Intercontinental Championship for the first time. He would defeat the former champion on two more occasions in the coming weeks to retain the championship and end their feud. On May 24, he would lose the championship to Kota Ibushi, ending his reign at 138 days. He would receive a rematch for the championship on June 14, being defeated once again.
