well damn. that rules but I hope they keep him off AEW until it is near Forbidden Door time, having that be his return and the twist of him being on the other company's top of the mountain is tasty. like mention he won the title but let the audience not think about him much until he returns and you really don't know if he's with AEW.

Do you think they'd do Mox vs Danielson for the NJPW Title??

I think that might be the plan, I'd have Danielson actually win against Ospreay and build up to that being the big time IWGP title match. It works with the BCC stuff obviously but also all of the stuff I mentioned AND not knowing what the hell Bryan is gonna do this year cause it is his retirement tour. Impossible winner to predict and would go hard as hell.

A unexpected surprise. Thought it may happen but wasn't counting on it

Glad to see one member of The Shield still doing well.

You jest but here's an insane stat: From February 2020(AEW Revolution) to WrestleMania XL, a member of the Shield has held a World Title. If Bray didn't win the Universal Championship from Seth, that run would have started at SummerSlam 2019.

[KME]

Buzzing for Mox, had a slight feeling he might win but was still a shock. I always enjoy him but he hadn't done anything too meaningful since his concussion against Fenix and it was hard to see him getting back in the AEW World Title picture anytime soon so this is a really interesting twist for his career. Really cool that he made a bit of history with the win too.

That's awesome, I hope we see more AEW sending talent over to NJPW for stuff like this. For the talk about them poaching talent, it'd be good for their partnership/alliance to send people over, whether it's someone big like Moxley or someone who could use an excursion to grow like Perry. AEW has a huge enough roster that you can send folks away for a bit and let them do other promotions and it can really freshen folks up.

Yeah, the deal is hardly one-sided when it's giving them Mox and Perry and Eddie. Hell, there's even a case to be made that the wrestlers who want to go stateside might be preferrable in AEW, even if they don't maintain a relationship or use of that specific talent. The devil you know and all that. AEW has a lot of leverage and power now in any dealing they make with any promotion, but if they don't abuse that power, there's still a lot to gain. If Okada and Ospreay wanted American work no matter what, it's not like that's the deal's fault. AEW is everything they used ROH for in their stateside expansion and then like twenty times more on top.

Ren Narita made the challenge for Dontaku

[Kalmia]

We should have known this was coming. I'm pretty sure there's a law somewhere that says that at least one member of the Shield must be champion at all times or the world explodes.

I was reminded this morning that I’m still subscribed to the NJPW sub on Reddit and ooooh boy they seem to be in a full blown nuclear meltdown over this there

I love how Renee smiles because she's so used to him being covered in blood that it doesn't disgust her immediately anymore LMAO.

Still, in all seriousness, it's cool for Moxley that he can now add that to his resume.

Tolerating copious amounts of blood and raccoons is what true love is all about.

idk if that place has changed in the last year or so but I don't think I've ever seen them this angry. I expected a little irritated cause it has been bubbling but no, they're pissed

Must be something in the water these days.

Given they've won three world titles, BCC has to be considered one of the top stables

[The Ichi]

I wonder if this will tie into this years Forbidden Door PPV.

Why?
From a mostly outside perspective they've had some weak recent champions, have lost many of their biggest stars and desperately need to make new ones.

Mox is an upgrade in the short term and in the long run one of their new chosen ones defeating him (or Bryan) will make them more than beating a broken down Naito and they in turn can make their contemporaries. A bit of buzz can only help too.

That said I can get wanting say ZSJ to be champion. Plus I'm always baffle why Himoru hasn't moved up tk that division.

I like Tetsuya Naito, but yeah. His body is held together by duct tape and hope at this point. IIRC, Mox is also really popular with Japanese fans as far as gaijin go. He's a good guy to hold on to the title until you build up the next generation into viable title contenders.

beats me!

i'd also way prefer ZSJ to be champion but I also think ZSJ should be champion everywhere because he's my favorite wrestler period. naito was never going to be long for that title and moxley isn't going to be either, he's losing that shit in no time.
