Moxley won via the Death Rider in about 15 minutes.

He’s been the US Champion since January 4, 2020 when he won it from Lance Archer at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 14 and last defended the title over a year ago due to coronavirus travel restrictions.

Moxley vs. KENTA took place in the United States at NJPW’s dojo in Los Angeles.
