AEW Dynamite video highlights: Matt Cardona debuts
A packed AEW Dynamite saw every champion in action last night.
The main event featured AEW World Champion Jon Moxley teaming with Darby Allin in a win over Brian Cage and Ricky Starks. After the match, Allin pointed at Moxley, indicating a challenge. It was then announced that the two will face off on next week’s Dynamite for the title.
There is no shortage of challengers for Moxley as MJF also challenged the champion. He delivered a “state of the industry address” where he claimed that Moxley has been ducking him.
Cody retained his TNT Championship with a win over Warhorse, but the big news coming out of that segment was in the post-match. In his AEW debut, Matt Cardona, the former Zack Ryder, came to Cody’s aid after Alex Reynolds and John Silver of The Dark Order attacked Cody.
Hangman Page and Kenny Omega retained their AEW World Tag Team titles with a victory against The Dark Order’s Evil Uno and Stu Grayson.
Other highlights saw AEW Women’s World Champion Hikaru Shida win a non-title match against Diamante and Best Friends, Jurassic Express and Orange Cassidy defeat The Inner Circle in a 10-man tag. Later in the show, Chris Jericho challenged Cassidy to a debate next week and a match on August 12.
