One of the most personal feuds came full speed ahead tonight at AEW Dynasty when Jon Moxley defended his AEW Continental Championship against Will Ospreay. Six months ago, Moxley put Ospreay on the shelf by crushing his neck in his home country, in front of his family and making him have to receive surgery.
Now, Will Ospreay is back and he’s back with a vengeance. Not only is Ospreay looking to take Moxley’s championship, he’s looking to injury him, just like he was. And this match tonight got off to a very quick start.

Ospreay immediately ran at Moxley after the opening bell and nailed his signature hidden blade, dropping Jon Moxley. Instead of going for the cover, Ospreay did the exact same move again, and yelled to the crowd that he wanted to take his time.
This was a slight slip for the challenger, as taking his time allowed Moxley to gain his consciousness and battle back. As the match went on, both men were bringing the heat. This was a physical encounter, to say the least.

Jon Moxley ended up hitting a pile-driver on the steel steps that really had Will Ospreay down and hurting. Moxley followed up with a paradigm shift and a death rider to end it. Jon Moxley retains the AEW Continental Championship in devastating fashion.
