AEW star Jon Moxley is reportedly going to be facing a major New Japan Pro Wrestling star at the upcoming All Elite Wrestling ALL OUT PPV event.

Jon Moxley called out Hiroshi Tanahashi during this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, with Tanahashi set to face Lance Archer for the IWGP United States Championship on an upcoming episode of NJPW Strong.

Dave Meltzer recently revealed on an episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that Moxley reached out to Tony Khan with an idea for a ‘major’ NJPW star to appear at the PPV, and now it looks like Tanahashi is that man.

‘What I do know is that fairly recently, at 4am, Jon Moxley had a discussion ’“ I don’t know the night, I think it was the night of the taping ’“ with Tony Khan, and he had an idea for a match which I believe is for the September 5 pay-per-view. And Tony Khan liked the idea. I knew it was a top New Japan wrestler, I didn’t know the name of who it was, but I know about the discussion.’
