Jon Moxley Match & More Set For NJPW Power Struggle

Jon Moxley will return to New Japan Pro-Wrestling in only a couple of weeks.

The three-time AEW World Champion is currently not medically cleared to compete following a concussion he sustained at Dynamite Grand Slam on September 20. He has been announced for a match with Great-O-Khan at Power Struggle on November 4, though, which indicates the hope is he will be back in action by then.

Shota Umino will also challenge Will Ospreay for the IWGP United Kingdom and United States Titles. The match came about following Ospreay's win over Zack Sabre Jr. at Royal Quest III on Saturday, October 14 in London, England. Ospreay challenged a "Japanese sexy b*tch" to face him next for the IWGP UK Title and Shota Umino answered, calling Ospreay an "ugly f*cker."

Following the challenge for both the UK and US titles, Ospreay agreed but only if Great-O-Khan could face Jon Moxley. The offer was accepted by Umino, who also revealed he learned the swear words from Moxley.

David Finlay will take on Tanga Loa at Power Struggle too. Finlay's Bullet Club have been feuding with Guerrillas of Destiny for months and he lost the NEVER Openweight Title to Tama Tonga at Destruction in Ryogoku. Tanga Loa then pinned Finlay during a six-man tag team match at Royal Quest to set up their Power Struggle contest.

Matches already set for Power Struggle include Hiromu Takahashi vs. Taiji Ishimori for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship, and a preview of the Wrestle Kingdom 18 main event when SANADA teams with Yuya Uemura to take on Tetsuya Naito and Yota Tsuji.

Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Tomohiro Ishii will also put the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Titles on the line against Zack Sabre Jr., Mikey Nicholls, and Shane Haste at Power Struggle.
