With Jon Moxley currently taking some time away from the squared circle to continue his treatment for alcohol addiction, wrestling fans will soon get to see a new Mox match.

Airing this Saturday on NJPW Strong, Moxley and Eddie Kingston will take on Suzuki-gun's Minoru Suzuki and Lance Archer in a Philadelphia Street Fight.

This contest was taped last month as part of New Japan Pro Wrestling's Strong tapings in Philly, with this bout a rematch of the AEW Rampage: Grand Slam tag match which emanated from Arthur Ashe Stadium. There, Moxley and Kingston were victorious against Suzuki and Archer in a Lights Out offering - with Homicide making a surprise appearance to provide the assist.

As of now, the only glimpse at this NJPW Strong contest came during the trailer for the Death Rider's Mox autobiography, with said footage showing Moxley and the Mad King making their way out to the ring.

In addition to Moxley & Kingston vs. Suzuki & Archer, this Saturday's NJPW Strong - which can be found on FITE TV - will also feature Chris Dickinson in action. For those who may have missed it, Dickinson has since been ruled out of action after suffering an injury at NJPW's Battle of the Valley PPV just over a week ago.
