Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston Announced For NJPW Strong Showdown
Mox & Kingston vs. Suzuki & Archer II? Yes please.
Following their Lights Out war on Friday's episode of AEW Rampage: Grand Slam, next month will see a rematch between the parings of Jon Moxley & Eddie Kingston and Minoru Suzuki & Lance Archer.
Mox and Kingston were victorious on Friday, although Suzuki and Archer took umbrage with how that contest played out. As such, the Suzuki-gun tandem laid down the challenge for the Death Rider and the Mad King to face them at NJPW Strong Showdown on 17 October in a Street Fight.

It's ON!
