Shingo Takagi and Jon Moxley will have their 1-on-1 match on January 4 after the challenge was issued at New Japan’s Power Struggle.
Takagi & Jeff Cobb defeated Moxley & Wheeler Yuta on Tuesday’s show in Hiroshima when Cobb caught Yuta’s Busiaku knee attempt and turned it into Tour of the Islands. A brawl continued after the match involving Takagi and Moxley, with the AEW performer bailing to the floor to observe Takagi using his own variation of the Death Rider on Yuta.
