Jon Moxley announced for major non-AEW match against former tag team champion

The Interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley apparently has another tough fight ahead of him.

Jon Moxley recently defended his title against the House of Black member Brody King. Although he was at a definitive size disadvantage, the Purveyor of Violence was able to eventually prevail, knocking out his bigger opponent with a strong sleeper hold choke.

The Blackpool Combat Club member apparently has no time to rest as he is slated to compete in a match against El Desperado later this month, on July 30th at Fairgrounds, Nashville TN. NJPW's Twitter handle announced the fight just hours ago.

You can check out the full tweet announcement here:

El Desperado appeared on AEW in the weeks leading up to the Forbidden Door. Even during his brief segments, he allied himself with Chris Jericho against Moxley.

Furthermore, the former tag team champion also teamed up with Yoshinobu Kanemaru to face Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee in a buy-in match at Forbidden Door.

While Moxley's upcoming match with El Desperado is outside of AEW programming, the Interim World Champion will bring the same ferocity to the ring as he always does. It remains to be seen who wins the fight.
