6 Talents That NJPW Desperately NEEDS Back

6. Jon Moxley

Currently he holds AEW's top title, but NJPW needs Mox back as soon as they can get him as he is also their IWGP US champion. With the Intercontinental and Heavyweight title looking merged at the hip now, the US title now takes precendent as the company's 2nd strongest singles championship.

During his time with the belt, Mox had enjoyed one of its best reigns since Kenny Omega established it in 2017. He won it in a tough match against Juice Robinson, then represented it well by having a good showing in the G1 Climax. While he did lose the belt as the result of some bad weather, he still won it back with a ferocious match against Lance Archer in the dome. Then he went on to elevate the belt's status even further by defending it in a brutal match against The King, Minoru Suzuki.

Mox also managed to endear himself to the fans, being popular with Japanese crowds and even had a fun relationship with top young lion Shota "Shooter" Umino. While not many things are certain for the Death Rider at this moment, one thing is, and that's the fact that he'll carry NJPW to the next level whenever he does come back.
