NJPW’s El Desperado challenges Jon Moxley to rematch

Nearly a year after their first singles match, El Desperado wants to face Jon Moxley again.

NJPW shared a promo from Desperado after he competed in GCW's Tournament of Survival over the weekend. Desperado said the experience reminded him of the motivation he got from facing Moxley at NJPW Music City Mayhem last year. He challenged Moxley to face him again.

Though Desperado didn't state when the match would take place, he mentioned that he's heard NJPW Strong is doing some cool things soon. NJPW Strong will hold its first shows in Japan with two Independence Day events this July. The two-night event is taking place on Tuesday, July 4 and Wednesday, July 5.

Moxley defeated Desperado in a no disqualification match at NJPW Music City Mayhem in July 2022. With Desperado refusing to tap out, the match ended in a stoppage when he passed out in a choke.

Desperado lost in the first round of GCW's Tournament of Survival last Saturday. At GCW's Cage of Survival event the next day, Desperado defeated Joey Janela in a death match.

KENTA defending the Strong Openweight Championship against Eddie Kingston has been confirmed for night two of NJPW Strong Independence Day. Night one will see TJP & Francesco Akira defend the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team titles against Clark Connors & Dan Moloney.
