Jon Moxley matches set for New Japan STRONG Independence Day shows

After back and forth promos between AEW star Jon Moxley and notable New Japan name El Desperado, matches for both nights of NJPW STRONG Independence Day.

Night 1 will see Moxley team with Homicide to take on Desperado and Jun Kasai (of Big Japan and CZW fame) in what is being promoted as an “Exciting Encounter Doomsday No DQ” match.
