Jon Moxley's recent run in NJPW has seen him compete on STRONG
Jon Moxley has competed on NJPW STRONG in recent months. The former IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion last competed in a New Japan ring when he faced the Suzuki-gun duo of Minoru Suzuki and Lance Archer in a tag team match on NJPW STRONG while teaming up with Eddie Kingston.
In August 2021, Moxley teamed up with Yuji Nagata to face The Good Brothers at NJPW Resurgence. On that occasion, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows prevailed over Moxley and Nagata.
During his run as the IWGP US Heavyweight Champion, Moxley even defended his title in AEW against Nagata and Karl Anderson before eventually losing to Lance Archer in a brutal Texas Death Match.
Moxley will aim to walk out with a massive win at NJPW Windy City Riot on April 16th by pinning a former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion in the form of Will Ospreay.
