Friday’s NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed 2024 event also featured Jack Perry and Jon Moxley making surprise appearances and issuing challenges for matches at AEW x NJPW Wrestle Dynasty, which takes place on January 5, 2025 at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan.

Following Los Ingobernables De Japon’s Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji victory over Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett), the lights went out and a video aired on the big screen featuring a mysterious person. When the light came back on, this mystery person was revealed to be Perry who attacked Tsuji. Perry then grabbed a microphone and challenged Tsuji to a match at Wrestle Dynasty.

Later in the show, Tomohiro Ishii & Shota Umino defeated TMDK (Bad Dude Tito & Zack Sabre Jr.) in a tag team match. Similar to LIJ’s victory earlier, Ishii & Umino’s victory celebration was interrupted by a video airing on the big screen revealing Moxley. Moxley talked about his disappointment of late with Umino and challenged Umino to a match involving an “emissary” sent by him for Wrestle Dynasty. After the video ended, Umino accepted the challenge and denounced his association with Moxley.
