Jon Moxley has said that, whatever his title, he always intends to walk into New Japan Pro Wrestling as the “hunter” and not the “hunter. “The IWGP United States Championship always tends to be a big game hunter, as he has tried to outlaw the likes of Lance Archer and Minoru Suzuki before.
At Wrestle Kingdom 14, Jon Moxley defeated Lance Archer to win the U.S. IWGP Championship for the second time. In his second defense of the title, Moxley defeated Minoru Suzuki, a former Sucherki Gun stable, at Archer, in MOX ‘s last game in NJPW to date.
In his interview with NJPW, Jon Moxley described him as a “hunter” and not a “hunter.” For that reason, the U.S. IWGP Champion will not sit around and wait for the opponents. Instead, Moxley would like to choose fights on his own.
“No matter how I look at it, I don’t care what color the belt is, whether it’s gold, silver, whether it says the United States on or whatever the hell it calls it.You know that’s what I’m carrying around because I’m kinda going like, ‘Okay, I’m walking in. to New Japan and I’m hunting for big games I’m trying to get the Lance Archers out or whoever they are, the Suzuki’s and whoever I got to go open in the G1. I want to go against those who are the best. Win, lose, or draw, I want to get into the ring with them. “
Jon Moxley made his intentions clear, saying he wants to share the ring with the best people from NJPW. Whatever the outcome of his game against some of those Superstars, Moxley is open to facing the best out there.
“I said I was the Bogeyman in New Japan Pro Wrestling because I’m not sitting here on a throne just because I got a belt and went like ‘Oh I was just waiting to my opponents come to me because I’m some sort of King on this but I guess, it’s not me who’s making challenges. I’m hunting KENTA, I want to take his head off, I want to put it on my wall. “
The Death Rider sent another message to KENTA ahead of their NJPW Strong title game, saying it wants to take off the Bullet Club star ‘s head and put it on his wall.
