Fred Rosser names Jon Moxley as his dream opponent.
The reigning NJPW STRONG Openweight Champion won the gold in a brutal battle against Tom Lawlor, so it’s easy to imagine a similarly violent clash if he stepped into the ring against the Interim AEW World Champion.
Speaking with Alfred Konuwa of Forbes, Rosser made it clear that he wants to face Moxley; he noted that they would bring out the best of each other and deliver a banger match.
“Jon Moxley,” Rosser said. “I believe he’d bring the best out of me, and vice versa. I don’t think people would expect us to have a banger match, but I really feel deep in my heart that we would have a banger.”
“Working with Tom Lawlor—a lot of people don’t like competition. A lot of people do not like competition, but I love competition. I take it head-on. I like when an S.O.B. is better than me because it’s going to push me to go further, it’s going to push me to be sharp in the ring and to be in the ring and to be on my game. So I love Tom Lawlor, and I love Jon Moxley so I’d love to share the ring with them. We would both bring the best out of one another.”
“Mr. No Days Off” also emphasized that his goal is to wrestle in Japan, and he’d like to potentially work with AEW at some point.
“A bucket list of mine is definitely working in Japan, doing Forbidden Door in Japan and maybe someday working with AEW. I’ve made it public that they said no to me, not once, but twice. And WWE also said no to me over 40 times. I did not take no for an answer, I put my head down and went to work.”
Rosser will defend his title against Big Damo at NJPW Music City Mayhem on July 30.
