New Japan Pro Wrestling has announced that Jon Moxley and former ROH World Champion Homicide will take on El Desperado and a mystery partner at the Strong Independence Day event.
The two-day event takes place on July 4 and July 5 at Korakuen Hall. Moxley previously beat Desperado in the summer of 2022 by referee stoppage. This tag team match was set up after Moxley responded to the challenge issued by Desperado.
