Tony Khan announces blockbuster segment featuring two legends on AEW Dynamite Road Rager
AEW star Jon Moxley and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) star Hiroshi Tanahashi are set for a face-off on this week's episode of Dynamite.
The two titans of pro wrestling are scheduled to go one-on-one at Forbidden Door on June 26 to crown an interim world champion in current champion CM Punk's absence.
Moxley earned the opportunity by defeating Kyle O'Reilly last week on Dynamite. Meanwhile, the Japanese legend carved his path by beating Hirooki Goto at NJPW Dominion.
All Elite President Tony Khan took to Twitter to announce the face-off for this week's Road Rager edition of Dynamite. He stated that before Forbidden Door, fans would see the two stars who have wanted to fight each other for a long time come face to face.
"Ahead of the #ForbiddenDoor clash for the @AEW Interim World Championship, 2 men who’ve looked to fight each other for a long time @JonMoxley + @tanahashi1_100 will come face-to-face TOMORROW on Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite! #RoadRager Live tomorrow on @TBSNetwork @ 8pm ET/7pm CT," Khan tweeted.
