I am guessing that the saga between Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega is now over. I'm also guessing that Riho will move on to a new challenger, now that Emi Sakura has been vanquished from the title picture.
Neither scenario is enough to draw in a casual fan to watch AEW Dynamite when it airs next week, at least live. But MJF's heel turn, on the other hand, is something that needs to be explained and the idea of him with a live microphone is always compelling.

One needs to remember that pro wrestling is something that is a never-ending soap opera and while nothing sells a soap opera better than a betrayal. For one best friend to betray another is always a compelling reason to tune in.
Will you be watching the next episode of Dynamite live, ladies and gentlemen?
