7. Pissed Off & Bent Out Of Shape

Jon Moxley's promo likely reflected his real-life situation, as the AEW World Champion was forced off the Fyter Fest card when his wife, WWE's Renee Young, tested positive for the illness currently ravaging the globe. If only her employers didn't run a sloppy shop.

"Pissed off and bent out of shape about many things," Moxley promised to "pure all [my] frustrations against Brian Cage." He had one hell of a challenge in front of him and called back to Taz claiming Moxley wouldn't be able to Paradigm Shift 'The Machine' because he's so damn swole. That's fine, Mox said, saying he'd rip the bicep Brian tore earlier in the year clean off instead, putting him on the shelf for another five months.

"Enjoy the hospital," Moxley said, signing off.

A concise little ripper of a promo, perfectly outlining Moxley's battleplan. We'd found out whether or not his new strategy would prove effective later in the night.
