Jon Moxley has made his return to NJPW (New Japan Pro Wrestling).
He did so when he made a surprise appearance at the NJPW World Tag League finals on Sunday where he was looking for his IWGP US Championship.
Moxley made his way through the crowd where he would attack Lance Archer and Minoru Suzuki as he connected with the paradigm shift to both stars. He would get a microphone in order to issue a challenge to Archer in a Texas Deathmatch for the IWGP US Championship at Wrestle Kingdom 14.
The segment ended with Archer and Moxley brawling.
Jon Moxley Plans To Wrestle For NJPW For The Rest Of His Career
Moxley was stripped of the title in October because he was forced to miss the NJPW King of Pro Wrestling card due to weather issues (Typhoon Hagibis hitting Japan). He was supposed to defend the title against Juice Robinson at the show.
As a result, NJPW made changes to the card with Archer stepping in and winning the title.
NJPW’s biggest event of the year will be two days at the Tokyo Dome on January 4 and January 5. As of this writing, there’s no word yet on which night this match will take place at the show.
