The former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley was planned to wrestler NJPW legend Hiroshi Tanahashi at AEW All Out pay-per-view but that match seems to be in jeopardy. It is likely to get canceled.
Jon Moxley possibly won’t face Hiroshi Tanahashi
Tanahashi had recently captured the IWGP United States Championship at NJPW Resurgence and he is scheduled to defend his title against Kota Ibushi at Wrestle Grand Slam. It has been noted that the NJPW event will take place on September 4th in Japan which is just a day before All Out on September 5th in Chicago.
It is unlikely that Tanahashi will compete in both the major matches in different continents just a day apart from the other. It is to be also noted that it takes a lot of time to travel from Japan to the USA and the chances of the Japanese star showing up in Chicago on time is narrow.

Moxley had first teased the match with Hiroshi Tanahashi on the July 28th edition of AEW Dynamite, where he called out the legendary performer. Following that reports stated that Moxley had asked AEW President Tony Khan for a match against a top NJPW star at All Out but the dream match is up in the air.
It is believed that Moxley and Tanahashi’s match could now go down at Wrestle Kingdom 16 in January 2022.
