Jon Moxley is right at home as the AEW International Champion. Having taken the belt from Orange Cassidy in the main event of AEW All Out – Moxley has hit the ground running, building up title defenses against Action Andretti, AR Fox & Big Bill.
However, one man has had his eye on Moxley for weeks now, after being put on the injured list ahead of All In. Rey Fenix is back – and is ready for revenge on Moxley, and taking the International Championship would be a great start to that goal.
Rey Fenix Beats Jon Moxley At His Own Game
Fenix would meet Moxley on the ramp, choosing to start this match with a brawl. Moxley would be sent off the ramp, and Fenix followed with a dive. Back in the ring, Fenix would springboard off the ropes, using his speed as an advantage – only for Moxley to bring things back to a fight.
Another brawl on the floor would see Fenix thrown into the crowd, before an elevated DDT off the barricade. Moxley would punch a grounded Fenix in the ring with stiff right hands, before driving him into the corner. Fenix used his speed to slip free, springing off the ropes for a spinning heel kick.
Moxley would roll across the ring, and Fenix followed with a Rolling Cutter. Fenix would set up Moxley on the barricade, and came off the top rope with a leg drop.
Back in the ring, Fenix would be caught with a Death Rider – before being locked in the Texas Cloverleaf. Moxley would notice Fenix wasn’t giving up – and moved into the STF.
Fenix would refuse to quit, and was forced into the corner before some stiff knife edge chops. Moxley would try for a Superplex, but was shoved to the mat for a Springboard Double Stomp – getting Fenix a two count. Fenix would lose control and was dropped on his head with the Piledriver – getting a near fall.
Fenix would bounce back and hit a set of Fenix Drivers – ending the reign of Moxley in short order. Moxley barely kicked out of the first one, and the second one was a formality.
The AEW International Championship has been brought back to Death Triangle, and Fenix has now held the Tag Team, Trios & International Championships during his AEW tenure.
