Tetsuya Naito vs. Jon Moxley
Jon Moxley already holds a victory over Tetsuya Naito. However, that shouldn't be a reason why the two men can't face each other once again in a singles match.

Over the past few months or so, Naito has somewhat struggled to gain momentum in NJPW. On Night 1 of Wrestle Kingdom 15, he dropped both the IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Championships to Kota Ibushi.

Shortly afterward, Naito tried to prevent Ibushi's quest to merge both titles by challenging him for the IWGP Intercontinental Championship. But on Night 2 of NJPW Castle Attack, Ibushi defeated Naito once again, this time in a match that was contested only for the IWGP IC Title.
With a loss to The Great-O-Khan from this year's New Japan Cup 2021, Naito now seems engaged in a feud with The United Empire star. However, if NJPW hopes to maintain Naito's momentum, the promotion should consider a feud between him and Jon Moxley.
Naito's popularity in the United States is already off the charts. In the past, the leader of Los Ingobernables de Japon competed against Ibushi on American soil when the pair met at the G1 Supercard for the IWGP IC Title.
Hence, appearing on AEW Dynamite would not only help Naito but also result in a mega feud between him and Jon Moxley for the IWGP United States Heavyweight Title.
