Segment 1
Story
From AEW's website
Jon Moxley, patch on the injured eye, came down through the crowd. Mox is the #1 undisputed challenger for Chris Jericho’s AEW World Championship title.
Mox grabbed a microphone: “I gotta tell you, it was right around the time I got stabbed with a metal spike that it occurred to me. I guess the fun and games with Chris Jericho are over. Now it’s official. Moxley. Jericho. AEW World Championship. February 29th in Chicago at REVOLUTION!
“I am far from perfect. I’m no role model. I’m no saint. I don’t have to wear a white hat or a black hat. But I make sure at the end of the day I can look myself in the mirror. All the championships in the world don’t mean nothin’ unless you have your honor, unless you live by a code. When I see Chris Jericho I see a coward, a bully, and boy, do I hate bullies.
“On February 29th, Chris Jericho and the Inner Circle will have a target on my head, but I will look right down the barrel of that gun and I will take the AEW World Championship from Chris Jericho. Because Chris, it’s not about the kind of man you are…it’s about the kind of man you’re not!
But let’s not wait until then. Let’s do this tonight, Chris, and for once, take your beating like a man!”
Le Champion Chris Jericho’s theme, “Judas,” began to play, and out walked the champ. The crowd was singing along.
“Moxley,” said Jericho, “it makes me laugh when you talk about what you’ve done and what you’ve earned, because all you deserved was a spike in the eye. All you had to do was say ‘yes’ to my offer to join the Inner Circle.
“You think you have what it takes to beat Le Champion?” asked Jericho. “You don’t even have what it takes to blink with both eyes. You want to see a fight here in Cleveland? Go to hell! Cleveland doesn’t deserve to see me one-on-one, and besides, I never go anywhere without my boys. C’mon out boys!”
And out came Jericho’s Inner Circle: Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz.
“You think I’m gonna walk into a five-on-one beat down Chris? See I was born and raised here in the great state of Ohio. The way I see it, it’s five against me and this entire arena, and hell, I actually kinda like those odds,” smirked Moxley.
Jericho laughed and replied: “You really are a stupid son of a b—! Moxley, we brought in some South Bronx street thugs, courtesy of Santana and Ortiz. The way I see it, it’s now ten of us, and one of you.”
Ortiz lead the charge down the ramp carrying an axe handle. Mox neutralized Ortiz with a head-butt and a DDT. Moxley charged into the fray! Referees and Atlas Security came out to keep Moxley and the Inner Circle (along with the South Bronx gang) separated. Eventually order was restored.
