Jon Moxley's attack on World Champion backfires on Dynamite

Jon Moxley tried to make his presence felt after the main event of AEW Dynamite's fifth-anniversary show tonight. However, his plans ultimately backfired after a certain AEW star got involved.

Tonight's main event featured the third outing of Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada. This match had the AEW World Championship and the Continental Championship on the line.

Ultimately, the American Dragon won via a roll-up pin, but he was immediately met with two post-match attacks. The first came from Okada himself, who was unhappy with his loss. The second came from the Blackpool Combat Club as the members ran up to Danielson and restrained him.

This was about to lead to an attack by Jon Moxley, but Wheeler Yuta thwarted him with a hammer in hand. Tonight, he showed his allegiance to Bryan as he brawled with Claudio Castagnoli and PAC, with Mox high-tailing and watching all this from ringside.

The AEW World Champion has found some help. Before he goes to war with Moxley at WrestleDream, he'll team up with Yuta as they'll take on Claudio and PAC on Dynamite: Title Tuesday next week.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
