At this year's AEW All Out pay-per-view, Suzuki made his AEW debut and attacked Moxley after the latter defeated Satoshi Kojima. The former IWGP Intercontinental Champion took out Moxley with the Gotch Style Piledriver, and the rematch between the two men was immediately confirmed for the following AEW Dynamite.
On Dynamite, not only did Moxley beat Suzuki once again, but the latter's iconic entrance was also cut short in his first-ever Dynamite appearance. The victory in Cincinnati was the second time The Death Rider had beaten Suzuki.
In early 2020, Moxley successfully defended his IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship against Suzuki in New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Jon Moxley's feud with Minoru Suzuki could finally conclude on AEW Rampage: Grand Slam
On the upcoming edition of AEW Rampage: Grand Slam, Jon Moxley will finally look to settle the score with Minoru Suzuki. Moxley will also have to deal with another familiar foe in Lance Archer, but the former AEW World Champion will have Eddie Kingston by his side.
Last week on AEW Dynamite, the duo of Moxley and Kingston defeated 2point0 in the show's main event. After the match, the pair were interrupted by Suzuki-gun, and all four men sparked a wild brawl across the arena.
