I loved the fact that Jon Moxley entered through the crowd, as always this week, but then delivered a fired-up promo to kickstart the show, and honestly, officially begin his Championship feud with Chris Jericho on AEW Dynamite. Jon Moxley clearly has the support of the people, and while he may not be nearly as over as Cody Rhodes at this time, there's an outlaw vibe to him that seems to connect with the people. And Chris Jericho played the audience like a fiddle, calling them stupid even as they sang his theme song, together, in unison.
In some ways, with Moxley using the baseball bat as a weapon, it reminds me of Sting taking out the nWo. There are certainly elements of the nWo in The Inner Circle, especially with such a vast contingent of the current AEW roster hailing from WCW. I'm excited about the next chapter of the feud and I can say with certainty that Jon Moxley would make for a very cool AEW Champion if the company does decide to take that route.
