After his match with Ishii, Moxley cut a promo in the ring on how he felt about his wrestling career, and also declared he's winning the G1 Climax.

"Thank you, Tomohiro Ishii for sharing the ring with me tonight, you sick bastard," Moxley said. "A few months ago, my career was pretty much in a toilet bowl, and then you guys welcome me over here to Japan. Made me feel like part of the family. Gave me this canvas on which to paint ugly, gruesome works of art. So I thank you for that.

"Let me tell you this, nobody on this planet, nobody on this Earth, in this world, in this universe can tell me what I'm capable of, or what I can and can't do, what I can or can't accomplish, only I can say that! Let me tell you this, and you better damn sure believe because I'm gonna do it or I'm gonna die trying, get used to it. Jon Moxley is going to win the G1!"
