Shingo Takagi wants a match with Jon Moxley, challenging the AEW star to come and face him in Japan. NJPW posted a video of Takagi backstage after his win over Claudio Castagnoli at last weekend’s Destruction In Kobe, where he called out the Death Riders leader.
After expressing amazement at how many times he was spun around by Castagnoli, he said “Is it over now? Nobody showed up after the match. What about here, now? I pinned Yota [Tsuji] at Ryogoku. Today, I pinned Claudio. Now no one can complain. Who do I have next? Who is it?”
“Hey, Baldy Riders boss,” he continued. “Come out already! M-O-X, Mox! I’m talking to you. Quit acting all high and mighty and show yourself! Remember when we toured America for indie promotions about 20 years ago? You’ve forgotten your roots. Show yourself. Come to Japan and try making it through our tough tours.”
Takagi retweeted the post, writing:
“MOX！
Come all the way to Japan to see me!
#AEW #njpw”
No word on when such a match may happen.
