Juice Robinson (6) vs. Jon Moxley (10
Trending
When you go to work with a great new haircut and your opponent, the new guy, tries to bite your face off, the scar drives everything you do against that man again. Robinson, who no longer sported white-boy dreadlocks, bled due to Mox on the man's first day. Robinson's scar was one of Moxley's legacies, and tonight would be their bloody rematch.
Mox, the Death Rider formerly known as Dean Ambrose in the WWE, has had a surprising ascension through the B-block as his developed his storyline with young lion Shooter Umino. Umino is top referee Red Shoes Unno's son, and he's spent this tournament as Mox's valet. Starting tonight, Umino wears Mox's Death Riders jacket, and it fired up the crowd. Unno refereed.
Robinson stayed just outside of Moxley's reach until Mox offered Robinson the first strike. They traded chest strikes and absorbed each other's headbutts like they were made of petrified wood and steel! Robinson's knee, however, was made of jelly and kept him from suplexing Mox.
Moxley gave Robinson's tender knee some special attention with a series of knee-focused holds and strong kicks to the leg. Moxley had Robinson crying out but couldn't keep him down for a 2-count, let alone. They locked each other into a figure four hold, and Robinson's reversal put Moxley in pain as well as in reach of the bottom rope to force a break.
Moxley followed up with a fight cloverleaf hold on Robinson's left knee, dragging him away from the rope. Robinson used the proximity well. And by well, I mean he bit Moxley's earring out. If you've never lost a piercing by force, I hope you never will! It took all of Moxley's momentum and he stayed cornered until he took Robinson's splash.
Moxley rolled out of the ring the moment he could and began the furniture sale. He took a table from under the ring, but Robinson followed Unno's orders the way Moxley would have, and he put the table back under the table. Moxley wouldn't have done that. They're two very different kinds of good guys.
Moxley's type of good guy meant more furniture, specifically a black steel chair. He didn't connect with Robinson's knee, and Robinson's turn with the chair meant the turn didn't come. Another top rope crossbody slam was huge and rough but Mox still kicked out at the 2-count. His forearms met Robinson's jabs and the crowd aggressively chanted for each man as their hits landed.
The men reversed each other's Death Rider and Pulp Friction finishers, and Moxley's submission and chokehold took Robinson to his limits And then? Robinson's limits rose: he showed Unno he was still conscious by grabbing his pants leg. Moxley, furious, landed a Regal Knee and got so upset with Unno that he offered Unno a very rude gesture. That showed the depth of Moxley's frustration.
A hard right got Robinson close enough for Moxley to bite, but Robinson hit his Pulp Friction finisher. After a grueling 8 matches, the 9th ended Moxley's chances to finish his G1 as the B-block champion.
