5 Potential opponents for Jon Moxley at Wrestle Kingdom 14

#3 Jon Moxley vs Lance Archer

As of this now, a match between Jon Moxley and Lance Archer remains as the biggest possibility for Wrestle Kingdom 14, given that Archer filled in for the absent Moxley at King of Pro Wrestling and much to everyone's shock, ended up winning the vacant IWGP US Championship.

With this, NJPW now has a perfect story for Mox, as they could bring back 'The Death Rider' and have him engage in a feud with Archer, given that the former never actually lost the title in the first place.

A match between Moxley and Archer would be an absolute brawl that I'm pretty sure fans would love to witness, especially in NJPW surroundings. Time and time again, Moxley has proved his worth in a No DQ/Deathmatch surrounding and we all know Archer, much like his fellow Suzuki Gun stablemates, loves a good ol' brawl.

A showdown between Mox and Archer could potentially be the show-stealer at Wrestle Kingdom 14.
