10 Ups & 7 Downs From AEW Dynamite (Dec 11)

9. "Mr. Attitude"

Whether or not Jim Ross referring to Jon Moxley as "Mr. Attitude" was a shot at their former employers or a simple comment on Mox's personality remains to be seen, but the 'Purveyor of Violence' lived up to it in a quickfire opener.

The only thing missing from Moxley's new through-the-crowd entrances is Shooter Umino, but alas. Said entrance took much longer than the "fight" itself as Moxley battered an overmatched Alex Reynolds with a Regal Knee followed by the Paradigm Shift, ending his night in seconds. Reynolds' partner, John Silver, then stepped to Moxley, eating a Paradigm Shift of his own, leaving Jon to celebrate.

A 100mph start to the show that accomplished everything it needed to, this squash ticked every box.
