In-Ring Segment: Jon Moxley
Moxley says he’s the baddest wrestler on the planet, and he has defined the AEW World Championship.

Moxley says he’s been scouting MJF. He looks back on MJF’s road to the title match and says he sees a man filled with the fear that he won’t live up to the hype. Moxley says he’ll do what he does best at AEW Full Gear. He dares MJF to show him something at AEW Full Gear. Stokely Hathaway distracts Mox, and The Firm attacks the champion.

MJF says he’s not the same kid Moxley faced in 2020, as he won’t stop no matter how much he bleeds. MJF says he needs the belt more than he needs oxygen. He says it’s his time. MJF tells Moxley that the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn’t exist, and he will show Moxley that he is the devil on Saturday.
