10 Ups & 0 Downs From AEW Dynamite: Fyter Fest (Jul 1)

5. Chickensh*ts

Everything from this slide onwards was legitimately awesome. Fyter Fest's first night was a ripper, friends.

Here's your man Taz, unloading both barrels on Jon Moxley after news that Brian Cage's upcoming AEW Title Match had been postponed to the previously-unannounced Fight for the Fallen special on 15 July. The ECW legend was superb once more. He kept it coy at first, claiming he and Cage weren't upset that Mox had politicked and bought himself more time, with Tony Khan telling him the champ was concerned for the health and wellbeing of colleagues. This quickly turned - and out came the WWE barbs.

"We don't run a sloppy shop," Taz said, reference AEW's testing in contrast to the mess down in Orlando. Moxley had nothing but "a case of the chicksh*ts," he claimed, saying he should be afraid of 'The Machine,' who's going to beat his brains in and take his belt.

Taz's delivery, as always, was top notch. Bellicose and believable, he is AEW's aggressive answer to Samoa Joe on the stick. He's doing wonders for Cage's act at the moment.
