Jon Moxley vs. Dante Martin on AEW Rampage
What a cutter by @JonMoxley! #AEWRampage: #RoadRager is on @tntdrama! https://t.co/Fzwc6zVJ2P
Dante Martin went to shake Jon Moxley's hand before the match began, but the former world champion slapped it away. Moxley forced Martin back in the corner and took control of the match in the early stages. The latter hit back with a dropkick, forcing Moxley to roll out of the ring.
Back in the ring, Moxley invited Martin to chop him. They didn't have much effect on the former WWE Superstar. He hit back with one of his own, taking Martin down.
Back from commercial, Moxley was still in control and hit Martin with a running boot. He went on to follow it up with a neckbreaker, but Dante Martin took him down with a hurricanrana. He then caught Moxley with a boot across the jaw, sending him crashing out to ringside.
Back in the ring, Dante Martin went to hit the Nose Dive, but Moxley dodged it. He briefly locked in a chokehold, but Martin hit back with a Sliced Bread off the turnbuckle. Moxley hit back with a cutter, but Martin quickly rolled him up for a nearfall.
Jon Moxley wasn't happy and took Dante Martin down with a lariat and followed it with repeated elbow strikes across the jaw before forcing Martin to tap out.
