Moxley clearly has SANADA and the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship on his radar, but the former WWE star also took some time to discuss the debut of his former protege, Shota Umino, in this year’s G1 Climax tournament.

“Youth should be a weapon,” Moxley continued. “When I was in [the] G1, I hurt my neck in the first match and dragged it to the end. But if he’s young, he’ll be able to recover faster. I want them to … focus 100% on the game in front of them without thinking about the semi-finals or finals.”

The G1 Climax begins on July 15 and ends on August 13, with this year’s tournament being the largest iteration in G1 history. Umino isn’t the only person associated with Moxley to be involved in this year’s G1, as recent NJPW Strong Openweight Championship winner Eddie Kingston will also be competing for the first time.

Moxley’s next NJPW appearance has yet to be announced, but it’s clear that the “Death Rider” is far from finished with the promotion. If Mox has his way, a match between himself and SANADA could be coming in the near future.
