Moxley rolled out of the ring and hit Wheeer Yuta with a DDT on the apron. Back in the ring, Mox went for the Paradigm Shift but Yuta blocked it and hit a lariat on AEW Dynamite.

As Moxley was celebrating his win, we saw Bryan Danielson enter the ring with a mic in hand. Danielson asked the fans if they wanted to see him and Moxley fight, getting a 'Yes' chant. Danielson said he wanted to Moxley fight and praised him for being a "new" Jon Moxley since he's come back.
Danielson said he'd watched Moxley since he was the AEW World Champion, adding that he was the best person to hold the belt. Danielson also added that with some support he'd still be AEW World Champion.
Bryan said that he felt that instead of fighting Moxley, they should be fighting together. Danielson added that he saw no reason why Hangman Page should be AEW World champion while someone dressed as a Dinosaur should be AEW Tag Team Champion.
Bryan Danielson added that they could run AEW together and added a list of young stars they could take under their wings including Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, Lee Moriarty and Dante Martin.
Instead of forcing Moxley to make a decision right away, Bryan Danielson said he would let the former AEW Champion think it over.
