Jon Moxley: NJPW confirm The Unhinged Superstar’s Debut date

Jon Moxley: NJPW confirm The Unhinged Superstar’s Debut date and his likely opponent at the Japanese Promotion.

Jon Moxley has made a habit of breaking the internet ever since he left the WWE. He debuted his new name and look on Twitter through a video. Closed the first ever AEW Pay Per View by attacking Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega. And finally revealed his intentions to be at New Japan Pro-Wrestling by dropping another video that saw him carving an anarchist symbol on a table inside a bar.

NJPW have now confirmed that the Former WWE Champion will feature on their show on June 5 next month.

The Promotion posted on their website:

“Jon Moxley will be appearing in Ryogoku Sumo Hall June 5; with apparent designs on IWGP US Heavyweight champion, Juice Robinson. Moxley previously saw worldwide fame as a WWE ‘Grand Slam’ Champion and member of top flight faction The Shield under the name Dean Ambrose. 

All month long, Robinson’s matches and commentary have been interrupted by a mysterious video stating that it was ‘time up’ for the IWGP US Champion. Sunday at Makuhari Messe, Robinson exploded during the Best of the Super Juniors broadcast; saying that he knew who the mystery challenger was, and stormed out of the building. 

Earlier this afternoon, Moxley posted a video to social media that suggested he was the culprit. After checking the veracity of the post, we can confirm that Moxley is indeed the original video’s creator, and will be appearing on June 5 in Ryogoku Sumo Hall.

NJPW have reached out to Robinson for comment and will provide updates to this story when available.”

Moxley’s resurgence has been inspirational. He is truly alive now and has declared war on anyone that dares to stand before him. It will be truly exciting to see him ply his trade in Japan and hope he finds continued success everywhere he goes.

Like most combat sports enthusiasts, his passion for watching people fight began with WWE when he witnessed a young Brock Lesnar massacre Hulk Hogan back in 2002. This very passion soon branched out to boxing and mixed martial arts. Over the years he fell in love with the theatrics that preceded the bell and the poetic carnage that followed after. Each bruise a story to tell, each wound a song of struggle, his greatest desire is to be there to witness it all. His favorite wrestler is Shawn Michaels and he believes that GSP is the greatest to ever step foot inside the octagon. Apart from wrestling, he is also fond of poetry and music.
