#4 Jon Moxley will fight an NJPW legend outside of his feud with AEW's The Elite
The Elite addressed their bitter rivalry with Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston during this week's AEW Dynamite. To deflect responsibility, Kenny Omega said that if Kingston wanted to face the AEW World Champion, he would have to go through one of The Elite's goons — MT Nakazawa.
Later in the night, it became clear that Kingston didn't want to engage in sports entertainment by wrestling Nakazawa. Instead, he got involved in a short brawl with The Elite's minion, threatening to break Nakazawa's ankle and baiting Omega to arrive at the scene.
While Omega just didn't care about Nakazawa's well-being in true heel fashion, Jon Moxley's arrival spelled doom for the AEW World Champion. As the two babyfaces gained more leverage, Kingston threatened to break Omega's ankle unless Don Callis agreed to their demands.
Moxley and Kingston wanted a tag team match against Omega and Nakazawa next week, and Callis reluctantly agreed.
The only issue here is that Kingston could have asked for an AEW World Championship match, and Callis would have most likely still agreed. Why settle for a tag team match instead?
Later in the episode, AEW pushed forward with their "Forbidden Door" narrative and announced a cross-promotional match featuring NJPW legend Yuji Nagata. Two weeks from now, Jon Moxley will defend his IWGP US Championship against Nagata on AEW Dynamite.
Moxley and Nagata have never wrestled before, and this clash promises to be a huge moment for hardcore professional wrestling fans.
