10 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Dynamite: Blood & Guts (May 5)

8. Oh Hey, Yuji Nagata

While not necessarily anything new to those who've been paying attention to NJPW's social media channels, airing a video package on Jon Moxley and Yuji Nagata's impending IWGP United States Championship match was a smart move from AEW to get fans up to speed on things they may have missed.

This covered everything from Moxley's first title win and various defences, the promo in which Nagata called Mox a "little punk," and Mox's response. Fired up, the champ might respect Nagata, but that goes out the window as soon as the bell rings.

Nagata vs. Moxley should be an ugly, rugged fight between two ugly, rugged dudes, hopefully leading to Moxley renewing his rivalry, somehow, with Minoru Suzuki.
