Last night’s AEW Dynamite (Fight for the Fallen) saw eight-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi appear via video message, announcing he’d be facing the winner of Lance Archer and Hikuleo for the IWGP United States Championship. That match was later confirmed for New Japan’s Resurgence event in Los Angels on Aug. 14. Later in the night, Moxley cut his own promo on Tanahashi, calling out “The Ace” for avoiding him both here in the US and in his stints in New Japan.
