Various: Jon Moxley on Future of His NJPW Career, G1 Climax Night 15 Results, Indies

Jon Moxley Comments on the Future of His NJPW Career

Japanese sports newspaper Nikkan Sports held a recent interview with Jon Moxley and one of the topics discussed included the future of his career in New Japan Pro Wrestling following the end of this year’s G1 Climax tournament.

“Fortunately, there is no problem in fighting in New Japan while belonging to an American organization (AEW). In the future, I can always show up in Japan.”

Moxley also stated that the main reason he decided to work for New Japan Pro Wrestling was due to him wanting to go in a new direction for his career that focused more on actual wrestling and not WWE style sports entertainment.

“I wanted serious professional wrestling, not entertainment that played crappy characters. I knew that was my origin and that Japanese wrestling was such a serious place. At the time of WWE, I went to the place told by the company and fought as I was told. Same as chained. Now it ’s my freedom to do anything. You can fight, get experience, knowledge and enjoy life all over the world.”
