Former NXT UK star Dan Moloney is the newest member of the NJPW faction United Empire which is lead by Will Ospreay.
At the RevPro Revolution Rumble on March 26, Moloney defeated United Empire member Francesco Akira. Following the match, Will Ospreay and Akira left a United Empire armband in the ring for Moloney. Moloney took the armband which signified his acceptance to their invitation to join the faction.
Will Ospreay commented on the newest member of United Empire on social media.
Dan Moloney is a guy that was fired from NXT:U.K. back in 2019.
The work ethic he put in after, throughout the pandemic, when the crowd returned & now is a real testament to the man he is.
Never took shortcuts, he showed up and grafted in a scene pronounced DOA.
