Yuji Nagata sends a message to AEW ahead of Dynamite
NJPW veteran Yuji Nagata recently posted a tweet, sending out a message to AEW ahead of his match against Jon Moxley for the IWGP U.S. Championship on Wednesday Night Dynamite.
Nagata will be returning to TNT programming for the first time in nearly 23 years.
The Japanese wrestling legend mentioned how exciting AEW will become based on his "tremendous awesomeness." Here is the rough English translation of the caption in his tweet (via Google):
"AEW-san, you're enthusiastic about it until the last minute."
"Then, in the actual production, I will only show off the tremendous awesomeness of Yuji Nagata ..."

The tweet has certainly garnered the attention of wrestling fans around the world. Ahead of their epic clash, AEW's Moxley teamed up with Chris Dickinson on NJPW Strong to take on Yuji Nagata and Ren Narita. The duo of Moxley and Dickinson emerged victoriously. Following the match, Nagata locked Moxley in a submission hold to end the show.
The hype for this match is real with both superstars taking shots at each other. This will also be Jon Moxley's fourth IWGP U.S. title defense since winning it from Lance Archer in 2020. Moxley is currently the longest-reigning IWGP U.S. champion in history with a title reign of more than 490 days thus far.
