Jon Moxley recently teased taking a former WWE Superstar to a major promotion. The star being discussed is Claudio Castagnoli.
The former United States Champion has been a crucial member of the Blackpool Combat Club. He has been the ultimate powerhouse within the stable. He recently lost to Swerve Strickland on an episode of Collision. The last time Castagnoli was in NJPW was at Dominion held in June 2023 where he teamed up with Moxley and Shota Umino against Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Tomohiro Ishii.
At NJPW's Donkatu Night One, Jon Moxley, Shota Umino, and El Desperado lost to House of Torture's EVIL, Ren Narita, and Yoshinobu Kanemaru. Despite being a six-on-six contest, the rest of the HoT members interrupted in the match. Further at Night Two, The Purveyor of Violence will go one-on-one against Narita for the title.

"I don't like the House of Torture. S**t like that ain't why I come to Japan. But you want gang warfare? You bring your friends tomorrow, Narita. I'm gonna bring Shooter and maybe a couple of hood motherf***ers'm gonna call up," he said.
Jon Moxley retained his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship on Dynamite
Jon Moxley was slated to face Powerhouse Hobbs on the April 24 edition of Dynamite for the IWGP title. However, during the match Hobbs sustained a knee injury and a recent report suggests that he will need surgery.
As per the reports from Fightful Select, the star could be out for a lengthy period.
Moxley defeated Tetsuya Naito at Windy City Riot last month to become the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion for the first time in his career. Moments after winning, Ren Narita confronted him as the two stars are now engaged in a heated rivalry.
Fans will also hope that Powerhouse Hobbs will make a swift recovery and return to the ring as soon as possible.
