AEW President Tony Khan has scheduled a major Jon Moxley AEW match this Tuesday on Dynamite, featuring the former AEW World Champion against a returning NJPW star. This event marks the much-anticipated comeback of Tomohiro Ishii, who will face Moxley in a high-stakes bout that has fans eagerly awaiting the outcome.
Tomohiro Ishii Returns to Challenge Jon Moxley on Dynamite
Tomohiro Ishii, the 49-year-old Japanese wrestling veteran known for his strong-style reputation, is making his return to All Elite Wrestling after last appearing on Collision in August. This Tuesday night, Ishii will take on Jon Moxley, the formidable leader of the Death Riders and a four-time AEW World Champion. The match promises a clash of styles and toughness as Moxley prepares to counter Ishii’s hard-hitting offense.
Tony Khan confirmed the match details on social media, emphasizing the excitement surrounding the event:**

This announcement also highlighted the match between PAC and Orange Cassidy scheduled for the same show, adding to the intense lineup for Title Tuesday.
Upcoming ‘I Quit’ Match Adds Further Pressure on Moxley
In addition to facing Ishii, Jon Moxley is slated for an ‘I Quit’ match against long-time rival Darby Allin at WrestleDream 2025 later this month. The two have been embroiled in a heated feud for nearly a year, with Allin recently reigniting their rivalry after a months-long break and his return at All In Texas.
Despite Allin’s loss to Moxley in a coffin match at All Out 2025, the conflict escalated when Allin confronted Moxley and the Death Riders with a flamethrower on a recent episode of Dynamite. He challenged Moxley to the brutal ‘I Quit’ stipulation, a challenge Moxley accepted, solidifying one of the most intense matches of the year.
It is uncertain whether Moxley will be able to force Allin to concede, creating heightened tension among AEW fans as WrestleDream approaches.
The Implications of Moxley’s Upcoming Matches in AEW
Jon Moxley’s back-to-back high-profile matches reflect AEW’s strategy to maintain intense rivalries and captivating storylines that keep audiences engaged. Facing Ishii’s hard-hitting style on Dynamite will test Moxley’s resilience and adaptability, while the upcoming ‘I Quit’ match against Darby Allin could redefine the future dynamics within the Death Riders faction.
Tony Khan’s booking demonstrates his commitment to delivering thrilling wrestling contests, and these bouts are likely to have lasting impacts on AEW’s competitive landscape. Fans will be watching closely to see how Moxley handles these challenges and whether new chapters open for all wrestlers involved.
