Jon Moxley will be in action at NJPW Battle in the Valley.

Shingo Takagi confronted Moxley backstage after NJPW New Year Dash and challenged him to a match at the January 13 show. They agreed to wage war in a No Disqualification Match.

Moxley and Takagi both competed at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18. Takagi lost the NEVER Openweight Championship to Tama Tonga. Meanwhile, Moxley competed in a three-way match that crowned the inaugural IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion. David Finlay beat him and Will Ospreay to win the gold.

Shingo Takagi had issued the challenge and Jon Moxley has accepted – No DQ, Everything Goes… and Shingo wouldn’t have it any other way
