Jon Moxley Wins IWGP World Heavyweight Title at NJPW Windy City Riot – A major triumph for Jon Moxley! The AEW powerhouse and member of the Blackpool Combat Club secured victory over Tetsuya Naito at NJPW Windy City Riot, clinching the prestigious IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Despite being bloodied, Moxley emerged victorious, delivering his signature Death Rider DDT to Naito.
In the aftermath of his title win, Moxley nominated Shota Umino as his first challenger, but was interrupted by Ren Narita who attacked Moxley with a steel bar. Umino made the save for Moxley.
Moxley then noted that Narita was a dead man, setting up two potential challengers for the new champion.
It was noted on commentary that Moxley is not an NJPW full-timer, and that an outsider winning the title could mean major NJPW shows without the title being defended.
A new NJPW World TV Champion, and new NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions were also crowned on Friday’s show, with Zack Sabre Jr. regaining the TV title, and TMDK winning the Strong Tag titles.
This win cements Moxley’s legacy as the first wrestler to hold world titles in WWE, AEW, and NJPW. With three AEW World Championship reigns and one WWE Championship under his belt, Moxley continues to leave an indelible mark on the wrestling world.
Jon Moxley has done it!
