Jon Moxley has officially named his emissary for the upcoming NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty event.
During Night 5 of the New Japan World Tag League on November 24, a video package aired featuring Claudio Castagnoli, a member of Moxleys Death Riders faction. In the video, Castagnoli chastised Shota Umino for not respecting his elders and promised to teach him a lesson at Wrestle Dynasty.
This confrontation was set in motion back on November 8 at NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed, where Moxley interrupted Umino via video, announcing he would send an emissary to face him at the Tokyo Dome on January 5.
The NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty event is shaping up to be a must-watch, with several high-profile matches already confirmed:
- Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Ricochet for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
- Kenny Omega vs. Gabe Kidd in Omegas in-ring return. ClutchPoints
- Jack Perry vs. Yota Tsuji in a singles match.
- International Womens Cup Four-Way Match featuring representatives from AEW, ROH, CMLL, and STARDOM, with the winner receiving a championship opportunity in any promotion they choose.
With the addition of Claudio Castagnoli vs. Shota Umino, the event promises to deliver unforgettable action.
