7 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dynamite: Quake By The Lake (10 Aug)

Ups...

7. Big Match Build

Jon Moxley
AEW

It's not rocket science, having your two main event wrestlers cut fantastic promos to hype their match later in the evening, but Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho both delivered down the lens.

Moxley, with trademark intensity, promised to test the last survivor of the Hart Dungeon, saying that if Jericho's spirit didn't break, his body would. This hammered him pulling 'Lionheart' out of his challenger home as the key story beat. Immediately afterwards, Jericho said he was going to put Mox through the kind of pain Stu Hart made him experience in the Dungeon, adding that what he was going to do to the Interim World Champion wouldn't be fixable.

Quick, simple, and effective, these two last-minute promos added to the excitement of the match ahead.
