The current IWGP IC Champion has always been putting up classic matches and a match against Jon Moxley at some point in 2019 will be nothing short of spectacular.
Both Moxley and Ibushi have a very different style of wrestling. However, the two men could easily pull off a match which lots of stiff striking and hard-hitting action. Throughout the years, Ibushi has shared the ring with some of the absolute best in the business such as the likes of Kenny Omega, AJ Styles, and Prince Devitt (Finn Balor) and a match against Moxley is going to be right up there with numerous other Ibushi classics.
