It appears that like fellow All Elite Wrestling (AEW) wrestlers Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho, the newest signee Jon Moxley, formerly Dean Ambrose of WWE, is also able to work for New Japan Pro Wrestling. Late on Sunday night, Moxley revealed via his Twitter account that the vignettes that were advertising a huge debut for NJPW on June 5, on the final night of this year’s Best of the Super Juniors, and just days before NJPW’s second biggest show, Dominion, on June 9.

Oddly, this will be Jon Moxley’s first venture into NJPW and first trip to Japan outside of working with WWE. Based on the video, it seems that Jon Moxley has chosen Juice Robinson as his first victim in New Japan. He also released his first promo with AEW, where he stated that we were entering a “new paradigm shift” and that AEW isn’t “reading history books, we’re writing them.”
