5. No Physical Receipt For The Firm?

It didn't sit too well that Jon Moxley ignored the chance to get physical revenge on The Firm for what Stokely Hathaway's group did to him on Dynamite. Instead, Mox looked on with a grin as Stokely sent out a challenge for next week's flagship on behalf of Lee Moriarty, then accepted.

Nah, nah that won't do.

The champ should've done more than that. If anything, and partly because wrestling Moriarty is hardly some big match anyway, Mox should've chased the pair down and at least tried to attack them. There's just no way it's believable that someone like Jon would let a heel faction kick his head in then be calm 48 hours later.

Wrestling needs to quit pretending that there's some magical forcefield protecting bad guys when they're on the ramp and a babyface is inside the ring. That's ridiculous, because Moxley is the kind of guy who'd literally walk over broken glass to brain his enemies.
