Jon Moxley returns to AEW Dynamite
It's been a month since Jon Moxley was screwed out of the AEW World Championship. Mox said that many assumed he'd come out upset or mad at the world, but the world is an unfair place. He's known that for years. All you can do is stand your place and grit your teeth.
Mox did that, has done that, and will continue to do that. However, he wants the gold back. So it's time to go after Kenny Omega and Don Callis. That said, Fenix has an opportunity to win the AEW World Title tonight, and Mox respected him too much to ruin Fenix's opportunity. As far as Omega goes, he'll never be safe. Moxley promised that he'll get even and more.
AEW World Champ Kenny Omega and The Invisible Hand Don Callis? They crossed the wrong guy. Jon Moxley plans on taking Omega to a whole new world of pain sooner rather than later.
Backstage, Chuckie T revealed that Trent would be out of action for four-to-five months. Miro, Kip Sabian, and Penelope Ford interrupted, leading to a challenge for next week on AEW New Year's Smash Night 2.
Miro will face Chuck in the ring, and if Chuck loses he'll have to be Miro's Young Boy until Sabian's wedding.

Grade: A-
A good hoss fight is always worth a watch, and those two more than delivered at AEW New Year's Smash.
Private Party had the gin, and they were met by Snoop Dogg, who had the juice. Matt Hardy came up to bring them their contracts, which gave Hardy 30% per deal. After going over the contracts, The Private Party signed on.
They even got to keep their third party deals with Cameo or whatever else they wanted. Pretty generous if you ask us.
