AEW Dynamite Results (8/24/22): CM Punk vs. Jon Moxley

By Colin Tessier

All Elite Wrestling delivered a buzzworthy episode of AEW Dynamite on August 24. In the headlining bout, CM Punk faced Jon Moxley in a match to determine the AEW Undisputed World Champion. Plus, the AEW World Trios Championship Tournament continued with a clash between Death Triangle and United Empire.

The results are as follows:

Face-to-Face: Chris Jericho and Daniel Garcia

Jericho kicks off the show and brings up the issues he had with Garcia, one of his favorite JAS members. He calls Garcia a future world champion and his protégé. Fans chant, “You’re a wrestler” a Garcia when he comes to the ring. Jericho says they don’t understand the connection they have, and he knows emotions were running high last week. He says he thinks they can work this out, but he wants Garcia to apologize to him. Garcia responds by telling Jericho he knew how special it was for him to share the ring with Danielson. He emphasizes that he held his own against his hero, and he always dreamt of having that kind of match. He hopes other kids felt the way he felt. Garcia says he didn’t care about being cared a wrestler or a sports entertainer when Danielson extended his hand, and Jericho ruined that moment. Jericho tells him there will be many more moments like that for him because he’s the greatest technical sports entertainer. He wants to hear Garcia say he’s a sports entertainer. Fans keep chanting, “You’re a wrestler,” and Danielson comes to the ring before he can respond.

Danielson says Jericho is trying to bully Garcia. He says Garcia can be whatever he wants to be and tells Garcia that he’s a wrestler. Jericho says Garcia is a sports entertainer, and he tells him to say it. Garcia says he can’t do that right here, right now. He tells Jericho to leave him alone and moves to leave. Jericho grabs him, and Garcia shoves him down.

Danielson says he’s not the biggest fan of sports entertainment, but that was entertaining. Jericho says hearing people say Danielson is the best wrestler in the world pisses him off because he doesn’t see it. Jericho says some people would say he is the greatest wrestler of all time. He says he’s the last survivor of the Hart Dungeon, and he knows more about wrestling than Danielson ever will. Danielson wonders what Owen Hart would say if he was asked which one of them was the better wrestler. He questions who would win a match between them. Jericho agrees to a match between “The American Dragon” and “Lionheart” at All Out.

Hager attacks Danielson from behind and leaves him lying.
