Jon Moxley retained his AEW Interim World Title against Brody King on this week's episode of Dynamite.
Moxley won the title at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view by defeating Hiroshi Tanahashi in a hard-fought battle. The company opted to crown an interim champion due to CM Punk's injury, and Moxley advanced to the pay-per-view as AEW's representative. Likewise, Tanahashi won the right to compete in the bout for the gold.
Moxley's first defense came on Wednesday's episode of Dynamite, where King challenged for the title. In the end, the champion dropped King with a Paradigm Shift. He then locked in the Bulldog Choke on his opponent and slowly modified it into a sleeper. Despite various attempts to break the lock, King's efforts failed, so he passed out, and the referee declared Moxley the winner.
Fans seemed to have enjoyed the physicality of the match between the two stars. Here are some of the best reactions to the Blackpool Combat Club member's win.
