Professional wrestling is a results driven industry, and coming into tonight’s main event – many feel MJF doesn’t belong, including AEW World Champion Jon Moxley. In the past six months, he’s been handed the victory in a ladder match, and won a single match on AEW Dynamite.
However, Jon Moxley is always ready for a fight regardless, and views tonight as a chance to finally bring out the potential in MJF. They previously met at All Out 2020, but MJF claims to not be the same inexperienced kid this time around. Tonight, he intends to prove he’s more than just a potential star, as he enters the biggest match of his career.
MJF Is The Fan Favorite Tonight
Before the match, the crowd would be firmly on the side of MJF – going as far to chant “new champ” as he posed in the ring. Moxley started off fast, punching MJF right in the jaw and welcoming a return blow. MJF gave a weak one before being cornered with an elbow smash before having his face dragged across the top rope.
Moxley would bite MJF in the corner – before sending him off the ropes and MJF would not get tripped up, strutting instead. MJF would get stomped into the corner – and Moxley just smiled before the King Kong Lariat – before soaking in the boo’s of the crowd. Moxley would set up the STF in the middle of the ring, with MJF fighting free.
A falcon arrow into an armbar would follow, with Moxley in complete control. MJF would be driven into the corner with the lariat, and rolled to the floor. Moxley grabbed and posed with the belt, only to have water spit in his eyes. Despite this, MJF would find himself rammed into the steel steps. Back in the ring, MJF would hit a series of jabs before striking Moxley down – before blocking the Paradigm Shift into an arm whip into the bottom turnbuckle.
MJF would take a breather on the floor, and would kiss the AEW World Championship before setting up the table at ringside. He’d be cut down with a Cutter in the middle of the ring, before Moxley stomped his head in. Moxley would look for a piledriver off the apron through the table, before MJF would hit the tombstone instead.
