For the first time, New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) is coming to Chicago! Tonight, the Odeum Expo Center in Villa Park, IL will play host to the sold out Windy City Riot PPV event.
NJPW did not hold back in their first event, either, as the card is rather stacked, and will certainly be appreciated by hardcore wrestling fans.

Main eventing the card will be an incredible matchup between Jon Moxley (also known as Dean Ambrose, former WWE champion) and Will Ospreay. The match came about after Ospreay called out Moxley, leading to some epic video promos from Moxley.
