Jon Moxley accepts El Desperado's challenge, and he's bringing Homicide with him.
NJPW recently posted a video in which El Desperado challenged Jon Moxley to a rematch. The two stars clashed at NJPW Music City Mayhem in July 2022.
In a tweet NJPW shared on its Twitter account, Moxley accepted the challenge and stated that he was bringing Homicide with him to face El Desperado and a partner of his choosing at NJPW STRONG Independence Day.
"El Desperado, you sick son of a bitch. Still talking trash all over the world about Jon Moxley. After the last time we crossed paths, we both had to get a tetanus shot after that match. That’s how bad it was, and you want some more of that, huh? You’re gonna be in Korakuen Hall in July 4 and 5? Well guess what? I got a brand-spanking-new, shiny goddamned Japanese resident card, so I can come back whenever the fuck I want. You got a partner? I got plenty of partners. I got wrestling partners, I got training partners. I got a rap sheet in this business, and for this, I’m going deep, deep, deep into the history books. It’s gonna be me and 'The Notorious 187' Homicide against El Desperado and whoever you can drag to the table with you," Moxley said.
NJPW later confirmed the match.
