Disco Inferno recently shared his thoughts on Jon Moxley's opening promo on last week's AEW Dynamite and highlighted a major issue with the segment.
After delivering a heated promo, Moxley left an open contract to invite challengers for his Undisputed AEW World Championship. As he left the ring, CM Punk's ally, Ace Steel, immediately picked up the fine print and returned to the back.
Speaking on the Keepin' it 100 podcast, Inferno praised the bluntness of the promo and Moxley's smooth-sailing mic skills.
"I loved Moxley's promo. That was a good shooting and half shoot type. Did good verbage, he buried [CM] Punk. Bro, he's a very smooth talker on the mic, there's a really good promo, right?" [From 2:27 - 2:41]

Okay, who wants to win this or who wants to fight and nobody coming out?
