AEW DYNAMITE

January 22, 2022, Washington, DC

Commentary: Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone & Excalibur

“Wild Thing” hits and it’s Jon Moxley kicks off the show in DC. “Welcome back” chants. Moxley remembers being on a plane and realized a demon has been following him. A “cloud” has been laughing at him, and it asked him if he was really going to make it out unscathed. Jon then woke up. He talks about having those scars and that’s what makes you the person you are. Everybody should show their scars off.  He doesn’t run from demons, he just beats the shit out of them. He thanks everyone who supported him through thick and thin. He’s going on a pilgrimage, he’s going to do whatever the hell he wants because now he is truly free. Big “Moxley” chants. He’s been to hell and it was very liberating. If there’s anybody in AEW that thinks they can take him through that, beware, because these days all he drinks is blood. He slams the mic down.

MJF recaps last week and says CM Punk took advantage of Wardlow. Max apologizes to Wardlow on his birthday. He says he lost his cool last week and that’s not okay. However, he says because Wardlow put his hands on him, he has to dock his pay. He believes Spears will be the first to beat Punk as Wardlow stares at him.
