Jon Moxley wins IWGP World title at NJPW Windy City Riot

Jon Moxley is the new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. 

Moxley defeated Tetsuya Naito in the main event of Friday's NJPW Windy City Riot pay-per-view to win the title, becoming the first wrestler to hold the WWE, AEW, and IWGP World titles. 

In the aftermath of his title win, Moxley nominated Shota Umino as his first challenger, but was interrupted by Ren Narita who attacked Moxley with a steel bar. Umino made the save for Moxley. 

Moxley then noted that Narita was a dead man, setting up two potential challengers for the new champion. 

It was noted on commentary that Moxley is not an NJPW full-timer, and that an outsider winning the title could mean major NJPW shows without the title being defended. 

The next major dates for the company are Wrestling Satsuma no Kuni on Monday, April 29 in Kagoshima, Wrestling Dontaku on Friday May 3 & Saturday May 4 in Fukuoka, Resurgence on Saturday, May 11 in California, and Dominion on Sunday, June 9 in Osaka, all dates that Moxley could make and still maintain a presence on AEW's flagship Dynamite.

A new NJPW World TV Champion, and new NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Champions were also crowned on Friday's show, with Zack Sabre Jr. regaining the TV title, and TMDK winning the Strong Tag titles.
