I thought that All Elite Wrestling kicked off the right on the right note this week, with Jon Moxley coming out to the ring through the crowd. The roar of the crowd was deafening as the former Dean Ambrose made his way to the ring and picked up a win, seemingly in record time.
But the whole tease of Moxley joining the faction, which is never going to happen, and then taking Chris Jericho on, is something we've seen so many times in pro wrestling already. It would be one thing to do this angle with someone more believable like MJF, who has heelish tendencies, but Jon Moxley is probably the biggest babyface in the company right now.

A lot of stuff in AEW does not make sense, like dinosaurs and aliens competing in the ring. The fact that Moxley did not lay Jericho out is a lot less ridiculous but almost as baffling to me, at least.
