Early Saturday, New Japan Pro Wrestling will present one of its highly-anticipated international shows, Windy City Riot. The show is taking place in Chicago, Illinois.
IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Naito will defend his title against Jon Moxley.
NJPW World Television Title Champion Matt Riddle will defend his title against Zack Sabre Jr.
Mostafa Ali will participate in the event as he will face Hiromu Takahashi. In addition, Nic Nemeth (FKA Dolph Ziggler in WWE) will face Tomohiro Ishii.
Moreover, one of the night's highlights is the first appearance of Jack Perry (AKA Jungle Boy) in Chicago, the hometown of CM Punk, since his fight backstage in AEW All In, London last year with Punk.
Currently, Perry is trending as the former AEW star, and current WWE Superstar Punk talked about the backstage brawl with Jungle Boy in London, last week, during WWE WrestleMania week activities in an interview with Ariel Helwani.
The statements of Punk drove AEW's Superstars and EVPs The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson, to air the tape of the fight, which sparked a huge controversy in the Internet Wrestling Community (IWC).
Jungle Boy was suspended after the incident before debuting at NJPW's Battle in the Valley early this year, tearing up his AEW contract, and attacking one of the NJPW's current Three Musketeers, Shota Umino.
Umino and Perry will come one on one in the show.
