Toru Yano and Jon Moxley
As comedic as the original match was, a rematch between Jon Moxley and Toru Yano is something fans have been patiently waiting for for almost two years. In Moxley's one and only G1 Climax run so far, his unbeaten streak in the tournament was ended by Yano, who outsmarted The Death Rider.

Yano's win over Moxley also guarantees the former a shot at the IWGP US Heavyweight Championship, one that The Death Rider is yet to agree to. That being said, with NJPW Superstars appearing on AEW on a frequent basis now, this might be the perfect time for Yano to appear on Dynamite and challenge Jon Moxley.
Following the conclusion of Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston's feud with The Young Bucks, the reigning IWGP US Heavyweight Champion could return to defending his singles title.
As for the challenger, Yano definitely seems like a fan-favorite at the moment. Many fans have made it known that they would like to see the King of Pro Wrestling 2020 winner face Jon Moxley in a rematch.
