Wrestle Kingdom 18 aired live from the Tokyo Dome on Thursday, and Jon Moxley faced off against David Finlay and Will Ospreay in a triple threat match for the IWGP Global Championship. Unfortunately for Moxley he didn’t win the match as it was David Finlay who walked out with the gold.
Jon Moxley spoke at the post-show press conference and said that he has a lot of things he wants to do in Japan in 2024. He also noted that the Blackpool Combat Club has plans in Japan for 2024 while teasing that Marina Shafir could compete in the country as a representative of the group.
Friend of the Blackpool Combat Club, Marina Shafir, it’s a goal of mine to get her out in Japan. Seeing Marina Shafir wrestle, I think the fans of Japan, when you see her submission skills or Judo skills, her martial art skills on the mat, I think fans of Japan will absolutely adore the violence she can bring to women’s wrestling.
That’s something I hope to have in the future. Marina Shafir, she wants a shot in Japan. Bring the best women you’ve got because that’s one of the baddest bitches walking the planet and she’ll come over here representing the Blackpool Combat Club.”
At this point it’s not clear if we’ll be seeing Marina Shafir in NJPW any time soon, or if she’ll be officially joining the Blackpool Combat Club, but it seems that she has impressed Jon Moxley.
