Jon Moxley has officially named his emissary for the upcoming NJPW x AEW Wrestle Dynasty event.
During Night 5 of the New Japan World Tag League on November 24, a video package aired featuring Claudio Castagnoli, a member of Moxley’s Death Riders faction. In the video, Castagnoli chastised Shota Umino for not respecting his elders and promised to teach him a lesson at Wrestle Dynasty.
