While Moxley has taken indie bookings during his AEW stint, wrestling for Revolver, GCW, and PWG in the past, such appearances haven’t come too often as of late. In fact, his last non-AEW booking dates back to June 2024, when he appeared at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport Bushido in Japan.
Moxley has appeared on four DEFY events from 2021 to 2023. Past matchups in the Washington-based promotion saw him go 20 minutes with Tom Lawlor and former DEFY World Champion Artemis Spencer.
It has not been revealed who Moxley will face in his upcoming appearance.
A general sale for tickets will begin on Thursday at 4 p.m. ET.
