In-Ring: MJF, Jon Moxley

MJF comes out for his address at a podium. MJF yells at his assistant Nina and tells her to present the “polling numbers” that show MJF up 500% over Moxley. MJF says he mourns for the belief that AEW fans have in Jon Moxley because it dies today. He says that Moxley has made it clear he doesn’t care about the fans and if he did he would be here. MJF says he will always be here and that’s a promise.

MJF says he has to admit he is partially responsible for Moxley’s absence because he is afraid of change and afraid of MJF. He says that “Dictator Jon” isn’t used to dealing with someone so much more talented than him and he isn’t used to dealing with a wrestler that won’t happily look up at the lights for him. He says he wants to make sure that Jon feels comfortable enough to show up to work and then lays down on the mat and asks Moxley if that is better.

MJF asks Moxley if that makes him more comfortable and says he didn’t start this just to have a rivalry with him but because AEW deserves quality leadership. He says that Moxley might be a hell of a wrestler but he isn’t a leader. He says he is a “rabid dog chasing cars” and says he wouldn’t even know what to do with one if he caught it. MJF says that if Moxley wants to prove him wrong and prove that he does care about the fans he should just hand the title over to him.

MJF says that AEW deserves better than Moxley. Moxley’s music hit and MJF sends all his security up to wear Moxley usually enters. Moxley appears backstage and comes down the tunnel instead and jumps MJF from behind! Moxley slams MJF into his podium and then hits the Paradigm Shift!

Moxley says that MJF better not think that makes them even. He says they won’t be even until All Out when he teaches MJF a painful lesson in humility. He says that he is going to make sure this is a very bitter pill to swallow.

Backstage: Matt Hardy

Footage of Sammy Guevara’s beat down on Matt Hardy from last week is shown. Backstage, Matt Hardy shows off his stitches and it is revealed that he won’t be cleared to compete for 10 days. Hardy says that since last Wednesday he’s been seeing red and he will continue to see red until he makes Sammy bleed. Aug. 22 on “Dynamite” he is going to kick Sammy’s ass. He says he isn’t going home tonight either because Sammy is a ant that needs to be squashed. He started to break into one of his alter egos. A guy is shown walking nearby and Matt attacks him thinking it is Sammy but it’s just a referee.
