Last year at AEW All Out, Jon Moxley was the AEW World Champion, in the main event and became the first man in the company to defeat MJF in singles competition. Looking at his position on the card this year can be viewed as a fall from grace to some fans.

However, Moxley has kept a significant role in All Elite Wrestling. His showdown at AEW All Out 2021 will see the former AEW World Champion facing New Japan Pro Wrestling legend Satoshi Kojima. The former IWGP Heavyweight Champion will make his AEW debut and looks to avenge the losses of other NJPW stars against the Purveyor of Violence.

This week on @AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley had a message to deliver to Satoshi Kojima. After a wild 2021 thus far, @cozy_lariat will bring all the fight Mox can handle to All Out September 5 on PPV!#njpw #AEWAllOut pic.twitter.com/Uu9Y7fteQ3

During Jon Moxley's IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship reign, he defeated Yuji Nagata, Minoru Suzuki and KENTA before losing to AEW's Lance Archer. Moxley has also had some very disparaging remarks towards New Japan Pro Wrestling competitors, saying that he will be the boogeyman standing at the "forbidden door" for anyone coming through.

This bout at AEW All Out 2021 with Satoshi Kojima will be a test for Jon Moxley. Kojima is a mainstay for NJPW and will look to represent his company against the former IWGP US Champion. This contest will be hard-hitting, physically intense and be a potential showstealer on this card.
