Jon Moxley to wrestle at upcoming Defy event
Jon Moxley has a date in Portland.
It announced on Monday that the former AEW Champion would be in action in October 24 for Defy’s event at the Wonder Ballroom in Portland, Oregon. He will be taking on Royce Issacs.
The leader of the Death Riders has made a few appearances on the independent scene from time to time. He last wrestled for Defy in 2023, where he defeated Artemis Spencer on July 29. Last year, he wrestled at a Pro Wrestling Revolver event, defeating Gringo Loco in a lucha death match. He also appeared at Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport Bushido event in Japan, defeating Barnett.
In AEW, Moxley has been building towards an I Quit match against Darby Allin that will take place at WrestleDream on October 18. After he emerged victorious in a coffin match against Allin at All Out, Allin emerged from the coffin and ended up setting Moxley on fire, indicating that their feud was far from over. Since then, Allin has attempted to go after Moxley in extreme fashion, ending last week’s Dynamite by threatening to throw a moltov cocktail at him.
