At last night’s NJPW Windy City Riot event in Chicago, AEW star Jon Moxley beat Will Ospreay in the main event. After the match, Jon Moxley delivered a challenge to NJPW star Hiroshi Tanahashi for the upcoming NJPW Capital Collision event scheduled for May 14 in Washington, DC.

Moxley stated on the microphone after his win in the main event, “This is your last chance to accept my challenge. We can shake hands, sign a contract and meet one another in Washington DC, or we do it the hard way, and I drag your ass to Washington by your f***ing ponytail.” Moxley also declared himself the new Ace of New Japan.
