Jon Moxley is just hours away from making his NJPW (New Japan Pro Wrestling) debut.
While waiting for his first match in the promotion, he decided to train at the NJPW dojo. He shared this photo on his Twitter account, which you can see here:
NJPW holds their Best of the Super Jr. Finals event on June 5 at Sumo Hall in Tokyo, Japan that will air on their streaming service. In the main event, Will Ospreay vs. Shingo Takagi in the tournament finals will go down.
Moxley is slated to challenge Juice Robinson for the IWGP US Championship. Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Jay White is also being advertised as one of the several big matches taking place at this show.
While NJPW and AEW do not have a working relationship, Moxley signed a separate deal with NJPW to allow him to work this show.
