AEW wrestler Jon Moxley and El Desperado will wrestle each other twice at NJPW Strong Independence Day on July 4th and July 5th.
The first night will see Moxley & Homicide teaming up to face off against Desperado & Jun Kasai.
On Saturday, Moxley issued a Final Death Match challenge to Desperado for the second night of the show, which was later revealed as an Anything Goes Match.
El Desperado: Sounds good. July 5, the second night for #njpwSTRONG in Korakuen, a singles match with Moxley? When it's time for him to show up he shows, when it's time for him to speak he speaks. That's why I love Mox.
He said 'Final Death?' That sounds like anything goes to…
