The match between AEW's Jon Moxley and Japanese veteran Yuji Nagata has been built around a lot of hype. With the IWGP U.S. Championship on the line, the contest could certainly be the match of the night. This will also be Yuji Nagata's first TNT appearance in nearly 23 years. Fans will be delighted to see the Japanese veteran perform on AEW Dynamite.

This past week on NJPW Strong, Jon Moxley teamed up with Chris Dickinson to take on Yuji Nagata and Ren Narita. Moxley's team won the bout but Nagata had Moxley locked in submission hold after the match to send a bold message. Ahead of their match, both superstars have taken shots at each other. However, we should not expect a title change on this week's AEW Dynamite. As good as Yuji Nagata is, it is well clear that the man is well past his prime. Meanwhile, Jon Moxley has done a great job in keeping with the prestige of the IWGP U.S. Championship for 480 days. So expect the Mox to walk out victorious on this week's AEW Dynamite.
