Former WWE personality shares honest opinion on Jon Moxley defeating Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Championship on Dynamite: Grand Slam
Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently discussed the outcome of Jon Moxley's AEW World Championship match against Bryan Danielson at Dynamite: Grand Slam.
Moxley and Danielson met in the final round of the Tournament of Champions to determine the new world champion. The Purveyor of Violence prevailed after a grueling battle by putting The American Dragon in a vicious sleeper hold.
During the latest episode of Story Time with Dutch Mantell, the former Zeb Colter said that AEW President Tony Khan made the right call to put the world championship on Moxley. Mantell also highlighted the positive fan reaction to the world title contest.
"Well, I think he [Tony Khan] made the right decision because I don't think he could have made a bad decision in that anyway. But they [Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson] did a straight up finish, one, two, three, boom. They got up, hugged each other and shook their hands. People liked it, off they went," Mantell said.
