8 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dynamite (16 Oct)

5. Mox Is All Business

How to put it simply? Well, Jon Moxley shouldn't be bumping around for Wheeler Yuta. That's not a diss aimed at Yuta - it's just the truth. Mox is at his best when he's a romping, stomping bad ass who takes no prisoners and runs straight through lesser opponents.

Mission accomplished then.

Moxley hammered Wheeler in a little over one minute, then disappeared back through the crowd like wrestling was some inconvenience to his day. This was a pure squash, but it did have some purpose. Orange Cassidy, Yuta's mentor, looked pretty p*ssed off with Jon afterwards, so there could be something there.

Eddie Kingston is in the World Title Eliminator tourney, meaning Mox needs something else to do anyway. Cassidy is a fine stopgap for Jon, especially if he can fill that underdog quota AEW loves so much against the big boys.
