Jon Moxley (with Eddie Kingston) retained the IWGP US Championship against Yuji Nagata (with Ren Narita) on tonight’s AEW Dynamite. Moxley pick up the pinfall win after hitting paradigm shift on Nagata. After the match, Moxley bowed, got down on the mat, and bowed again as he gave respect to his opponent.
It should be noted Moxley came out to “Wild Thing” by The Troggs. No word yet on if this was a one-time thing. It’s likely a tribute to Atsushi Onita, who comes out to the same song.
NJPW star Rocky Romero was out in the crowd tonight to watch the match.
