Wrestling/WWE News Round-Up (1st - 7th August): 10-time World Champion retires, Kane's return confirmed

#9. Jon Moxley confirms he will work for New Japan and AEW

Jon Moxley is inarguably the hottest name outside the realms of WWE. Everyone wants a piece of the former WWE Superstar. As mentioned in the previous slide, Moxley has kept himself busy since leaving WWE and has truly thrived as an in-ring performer in NJPW.

The burning question is, will Mox be able to do double duty and wrestle for both AEW and NJPW in the near future?

While speaking to Japan's Nikkan Sports, Moxley claimed that there should be no problems with him showing up in NJPW for a few games despite him being an AEW talent. AEW begins its weekly television programming in October and Moxley will be a major player in the promotion as they look to capture a big market.

“Fortunately, there is no problem in fighting in New Japan while belonging to an American organization (AEW). In the future, I can always show up in Japan and play games.”

That's great news for NJPW fans who may have been under the impression that AEW would lock Moxley down to an exclusive deal. The Mox experience will thankfully be a global phenomenon.
