However, Danielson could not properly execute the Flying Headbutt, which allowed Moxley to hit a Curb Stomp on the reigning AEW World Champion.

At one point in the match, the two rivals began trading punches and strikes in the middle of the ring. The intriguing exchange received one of the loudest crowd reactions of the night.
