AEW’s Jon Moxley has been added to the upcoming NJPW Resurgence pay-per-view.
There’s no word yet on who Moxley will wrestle, but NJPW has just announced that he will make his return to the company at Resurgence on May 21.
This will be Moxley’s first NJPW match since October 27, 2022, where he made a surprise appearance at The Night Before Rumble On 44th Street, teaming with Kazuchika Okada, Eddie Kingston, Homicide, The Amazing Red and YOH to defeat Jay White, Juice Robinson, Jorel Nelson, Tom Lawlor, Royce Isaacs and El Phantasmo. His last NJPW singles match was the No DQ win over El Desperado at Music City Mayhem on July 30, 2022.
The NJPW Resurgence pay-per-view is scheduled for Sunday, May 21 from the Walter Pyramid in Long Beach, California. It will air live on NJPW World with English and Japanese commentary, and will then air at a later date on NJPW Strong. Below is the updated card:
