Next up on AEW Dynamite, fans got a video package highlighting the AEW World Title Bout at Full Gear. Jon Moxley called Kingston a whiner and someone that only made excuses. AEW is not the place for men like that.
Eddie Kingston berated Jon Moxley for failing to appear at AEW Dynamite tonight. He called Moxley a coward and looked to make an example of Matt Sydal tonight.
Eddie Kingston vs Matt Sydal on AEW Dynamite
Eddie Kingston wrapped up with Matt Sydal, easily overpowering the world-class high-flyer. Sydal looked to add another pinfall to his impressive four-match AEW Dynamite win streak, launching Kingston into the corner with a sidekick and hitting a high-impact dropkick.
A series of kicks chopped down Kingston, but a spinning heel kick was caught, with Kingston dropping Sydal with a powerbomb. During the break, Kingston punished Sydal, grinding him down in the mat and ending any attempts at a comeback with heavy strikes.
Eventually, Sydal dazed Kingston with more quick-paced offense. Kingston was dropped off the top with a leaping frankensteier. After that, a diving meteora took Kingston down for a two-count. Sydal continued to wrap Kingston up in several unique pin attempts, but a knee lift put a stop to that.
The spinning backfist laid out Sydal, and Kingston used Moxley's Bulldog Choke to get the win.
Results: Eddie Kingston defeated Matt Sydal via submission on AEW Dynamite.
Grade: B-
The Bunny brought a mic into the ring, and Kingston forced Sydal to say "I Quit" before releasing the hold.
In an AEW Dynamite exclusive, The Young Bucks and FTR, in separate locations, were interviewed by Excalibur. The AEW Tag Team Champions said that this was a dream match. Matt Jackson's ankle was injured by FTR last week, but The Young Bucks weren't going to let it interfere in their match at AEW Full Gear.
The Bucks said that they didn't regret their attitude adjustment over the past few months. The "old" Young Bucks have returned to AEW Dynamite, and they plan on dethroning Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood.
Matt and Nick Jackson revealed that if they don't win at AEW Full Gear, they'll never challenge for the AEW Tag titles ever again.
