Jon Moxley vs. Will Ospreay set for NJPW Windy City Riot
Jon Moxley vs. Will Ospreay is official for NJPW’s Windy City Riot event next month.
After Ospreay spent much of the NJPW Cup tour challenging Moxley, NJPW’s social media posted a video of Moxley accepting Ospreay’s challenge, saying that Ospreay’s words have consequences. Moxley told Ospreay that while Ospreay was more talented than he was in terms of wrestling, it may now be time for Moxley to beat some humility into him, with Moxley promising that he would beat down Ospreay into the ring like a railroad spike.
