This may sound like an odd pick for many fans, because Jon Moxley never seemed like the kind of guy who would work the style in Japan. However, NJPW is perhaps the first or second best monetary option that Moxley has, and also presents a new challenge as well.

We don't mean to say that he'll jump right into NJPW, but the fact of the matter is that he has all the tools to succeed in a place like that. From both a character-driven perspective and in the ring, Moxley has what it takes to hang with the best of the best.

Moreover, we can see a whole new side of his in-ring style as well.
