Danielson clobbered Mox with the busaiku knee strike and the arena was going crazy! Danielson jumped off the top rope and threw his body down at Moxley on the arena floor. Danielson followed up with a tope suicida! On top of the broadcast table, Danielson kicked the challenger. Moxley had enough and spiked Danielson with a piledriver on the Spanish announce table!
Moxley distracted the referee so Marina could swarm Danielson with knee strikes. Moxley punished the neck of Danielson with a neck breaker. Marina moved the mat from the arena floor, exposing the concrete beneath it. Moxley went for a piledriver, but Danielson countered with a back body drop!
Danielson sent Moxley flying with a spider suplex from the turnbuckles. Moxley dodged a diving headbutt and then curb stomped Danielson. The champion found the strength to hit Mox with a piledriver!
Both men traded strikes in the center of the ring. Moxley got the champion down to one knee. Danielson got back up and clocked Moxley with European uppercuts! Danielson walloped Moxley with round kicks. Marina interfered again and while the ref was dealing with her, Moxley rocked Danielson with a cutter! The referee ejected Marina!
Moxley went for a German Suplex, but Danielson landed on his feet. Danielson connected with a Busaiku knee strike for a near fall! Danielson captured Moxley’s wrists and stomped Moxley’s head in. Danielson applied the LeBell Lock! Moxley reached the ropes with his boots, forcing the ref to break the hold.
Danielson went for a tope, but Moxley caught him and countered with a Death Rider on the exposed concrete! Moxley mauled Bryan with hammer and anvil elbow strikes. Moxley was on Danielson’s back, but Danielson muscled Moxley off him by falling backwards.

Moxley drilled Danielson with a Death Rider, but Danielson kicked out at the one-count!
“A one-count!? Where does he get this from?” asked Schiavone.
Moxley said, “Don’t make me do this.”
Danielson spat at Mox and slapped Mox in the face. Moxley answered with a Gotch style piledriver! Moxley put Danielson in a sleeper and Moxley won via ref stoppage!
New AEW World Champion…Jon Moxley!
“This is the end of Danielson’s full time career,” said a somber Excalibur.
Marina Shafir, Claudio Castagnoli, and PAC came down to the ring. They placed the AEW World Championship belt into a black bag. Moxley grabbed a plastic back, but Wheeler Yuta and Darby Allin ran down to stop Moxley from using the plastic bag on Danielson yet again. Wheeler Yuta blindsided Darby and charged at him with a knee strike! Marina and PAC tied Darby in the corner with duct tape. Moxley handed Wheeler the plastic bag and Wheeler used the bag on Danielson. Darby pleaded for Wheeler to stop.
Private Party and Jeff Jarrett sprinted down and tried to help Danielson. They were outnumbered though. Claudio stomped on a steel chair that was wrapped around Danielson’s neck. The rest of the locker room cleared out and Moxley and his squad retreated. The AEW Medical Team stretchered Bryan Danielson out of the ring.
“This horrific scene is the worst I’ve ever seen in my life,” said Tony Schiavone.
