Jon Moxley continues to reign as the IWGP United States Champion after defeating Kenta on Night 2 (Friday, February 26) of New Japan’s The New Beginning USA. The Japanese All Elite Wrestling star seemed to have the match in-hand throughout. Scroll down and read some details of the MOXvsKENTA match and a few fans’ reactions.
For months, Kenta had called out Jon to cash-in on his mandated IWGP United States Championship opportunity. He had even stated that Moxley had defended his title less than he defended the briefcase. Kenta finally got the chance to fight Jon on The New Beginning In the USA edition of NJPW STRONG.
As reported by comicbook, Jon Moxley took down Kenta by nailing a DDT on his No. 1 contender’s briefcase early on in the match. He was later seen driving the champ through a table with a diving elbow. Moxley eventually put him away with a series of offences like a DDT, followed by his Death Rider finisher.
