Jon Moxley was victorious at AEW All Out against Satoshi Kojima, but he was in for quite the surprise after the bell in none other than Minoru Suzuki.
After Moxley picked up the win over Kojima with the Paradigm Shift, “Kaze Ni Nare” cued up in the arena and Minoru Suzuki made his way to the ring. Surprising both fans and Moxley himself, Suzuki entered the ring and ended up slugging it out with each other. The battle continued, and the pair began laughing maniacally as if they were enjoying themselves before Suzuki ducked a strike by Moxley. Suzuki looped around and put Moxley in a rear-naked chokehold and finished it with a Gotch piledriver.
This is the first appearance in AEW for Suzuki, but he’s someone Moxley is very familiar with from their respective careers in New Japan. Minoru Suzuki and Jon Moxley have met three times before, two different tag team matches February 2020 and a singles match at NJPW The New Beginning In Osaka that same month.
