Dynamite opens up this week with Jon Moxley making his way down to
the ring. Moxley is wearing a patch over his injured eye. Moxley
says that right around the time he got stabbed in the eye that he
realized the “fun and games” with Jericho are now over.
“Chris Jericho is the final obstacle in my way that stands between
me and the top of the mountain here in AEW,” he says. Moxley says
that he knows that he has to deal with the Inner Circle too and
mentions all of the diabolic things Jericho has done in his career
including “stealing Rey’s mask and punching a damn woman in the
face.”
Moxley says that he’s done some pretty bad things in his career too
but you have nothing if you don’t live by a code and he says he
still has his honor unlike Jericho. “I see a coward and a bully,”
Moxley says of Jericho. “Boy oh boy, do I hate bullies.” Moxley says
that The Inner Circle has a target pointed at his head but he will
look right into the barrel of their gun and he won’t flinch as he
takes Jericho out and takes the World Title from him. “Chris, there
ain’t a damn thing you can do about,” Moxley screams. “It’s not
about the kind of man you are, it’s about the kind of man you’re
NOT.”
Moxley says he doesn’t want to go all the way until Revolution with
eyes in the back of his head waiting on an attack so Jericho should
come out and take his ass whooping now.
Jericho walks onto the stage as a few fans sing his theme like last
week but nothing even close as he mostly gets booed. Jericho says it
makes him laugh to hear Moxley talk about things that he’s earned.
“What you earned was a spike to the eye,” Jericho says. “That’s what
you deserved because all you had to do was say yes to my offer. Now
you look like a jacked up version of Captain Jack Sparrow.”
Jericho says he saw Moxley’s mom backstage and she was “especially
fetching” and suggests he’ll give her a call later. He says that he
apologized to Moxley’s mom for what they had to do to him and that
it was Moxley’s fault that he was put into that position. Jericho
asks if Moxley really thinks he has what it takes to beat him. “You
don’t even have what it takes to blink with boy eyes,” Jericho
jokes.
Jericho tells the fans and Moxley to go to hell because Cleveland
doesn’t deserve to see Le Champion in a match tonight. He says he
doesn’t go anywhere without his boys either and calls The Inner
Circle out. PNP, Sammy Guevara and Jake Hager walk onto the stage
and join Jericho.
Moxley says that Jericho thinks it’s 5-on-1 but the way he sees it
it’s him and the entire arena on the five of them because he’s in
his hometown. Jericho says that he knew Moxley would be this stupid
so they brought in some “South Bronx street thugs” courtesy of PNP
and five guys walk up the ramp behind Inner Circle.
Moxley attacks Ortiz and hits the Paradigm Shift on the ramp but the
entire group jumps on Moxley and starts kicking the hell out of him
until security runs down to pull him away. Moxley keeps trying to
get back to them before finally hitting a DDT on a security guard
and escaping through the crowd.
