Tony Khan announces blockbuster rematch for Jon Moxley after nearly 4 years for AEW Dynamite this week

Tony Khan has officially announced that Jon Moxley will be locking horns with NJPW veteran Tomohiro Ishii at Dynamite this week.

Moxley and Ishii are no strangers in the ring, having gone to war occasionally. Most recently, the two heavy hitters came face-to-face in a thrilling ten-match tag team match at Forbidden Door. The match saw the team of Ishii, Eddie Kingston, and The Elite register a hard-fought victory over the Blackpool Combat Club.

While the former AEW World Champion failed to anchor his camp towards victory, Ishii emerged as the X-factor of the bout. Doling out a thunderous brainbuster that echoed throughout the arena, the Japanese legend secured the pinfall on Wheeler Yuta.

In what was thought as a one-off appearance, Tony Khan has certainly played an interesting hand by pitting the 47-year-old veteran against Jon Moxley on the upcoming Dynamite.
