Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega have agreed to face each other inside a steel cage. 

Wednesday’s edition of AEW Dynamite closed with Moxley and the other members of The Blackpool Combat Club attacking Konosuke Takeshita. After the show went off the air, Omega cut a promo asking Tony Khan to “lock these guys where they can’t run.”

Omega said:

How about we make a deal? Hey Tony, instead of letting the inmates run the asylum for a change, how about you lock these guys where they can’t run, where they can’t hide, and you take on me?

You want to see how tough I can be? You think we’re just kids, huh? You think we can’t fight? You think we can just wrestle? I’ll show you, I’ll show you. Hope you’re listening, Tony. This is far from over, you hear me? This is far from over, Moxley! No more running, no more hiding. No more, no more. Goodbye, goodnight.

AEW then posted the Blackpool Combat Club’s response to Omega’s comments on Friday, including Moxley accepting the challenge for a cage match.  

Moxley said:

Kenny, compadre, my old friend, you want to step in a cage with Jon Moxley? You want to put yourself locked in a cage with animals like the BCC? I guarantee, I promise you, you’re going to walk out of that building with a broken heart and a broken f***ing face.

Omega and Moxley have had three singles matches against one another in AEW, although only two were officially sanctioned. Moxley defeated Omega in a Lights Out match at Full Gear 2019, Omega then beat Moxley for the World Title at Winter is Coming 2020 and then successfully defended the title against Moxley in an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch at Revolution 2021.
