Moxley wants another singles match against Desperado.
It is now official that El Desperado is tagging with Jun Kasai on July 4th at NJPW STRONG Independence Day. Kasai appeared at the 6/17 New Japan Road show to confirm that he’ll team up with Desperado to face Jon Moxley and Homicide.
Prior to that, NJPW pushed out a video of Moxley’s reaction to the news and Moxley said if they make it past night one, he wants Desperado in a ‘Final Death’ match on night two.
