NJPW has officially announced that Jon Moxley will defend his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against EVIL in a Lumberjack Deathmatch at NJPW Dominion on June 9 in Osaka Jo Hall.

Key Details

What is a Lumberjack Match?

A Lumberjack match involves the ring being surrounded by a group of wrestlers, referred to as “lumberjacks”, to prevent the competitors from escaping the ring.

Why It Matters

The addition of the Lumberjack Deathmatch stipulation adds an exciting twist to the already highly-anticipated championship match between Moxley and EVIL. The stipulation will likely lead to a more intense and brutal encounter, with the lumberjacks potentially playing a significant role in the outcome of the match.
