#3 The Match Ends In A No Contest
If you want to sell yourself as an alternative to the WWE, then having a very bloody hardcore match would be the way to do it. The WWE has been TV-PG for years now, and that limits what a wrestler can do in their matches. The very bloody classic match between Cody and Dustin Rhodes is proof that AEW isn’t concerned about pushing the envelope for their major shows.
Joey Janela and Jon Moxley’s history is a long history of blood and violence. These two could easily sell us on a very bloody affair in Dayton Beach. If you want to sell both as hardcore threats going forward then the match should end in no contest.

Would AEW fans accept this non-finish? It is hard to say but if it is done right then it could set up a true hardcore rivalry that fans have been waiting for in mainstream pro wrestling for years.
