Marina Shafir slaps her own faction member on AEW Dynamite
The Blackpool Combact Club storyline on AEW Dynamite is getting complicated. Even though its member, Wheeler Yuta, is on par with the stable's agenda, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and PAC appear to treat him poorly.
On this week's Dynamite, AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and his faction came to the ring. Orange Cassidy challenged him in the show for his title at Full Gear. The former Dean Ambrose was not too happy about it. However, he seemed most bothered by Cassidy's claim that after he became the new champion, the locker room was safe.
To show "Freshly Squeezed" the true degree of his insanity, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and PAC went after their stablemate, Wheeler Yuta. They put him in a compromising position, and it looked like they were going to injure him.
However, it was all a ruse to lure Cassidy into the ring. Once the former AEW International Champion entered the square circle to save Yuta, Moxley, Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and PAC released their stablemate and attacked him.
It appeared that Wheeler Yuta did not see this coming. He was momentarily stunned. However, Marina Shafir slapped him on the face once, returning him to his senses. He, too, joined his stable in Orange Cassidy's beatdown.
According to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, he is the one who has challenged Orange Cassidy
In the latest Dynamite, Jon Moxley claimed that he and not Orange Cassidy challenged him for a match at Full Gear. However, he added that he did not expect the former International Champion to understand him right now.
"I don’t expect Orange Cassidy or anybody else to appreciate what we’re trying to do right now but one day you will understand. Orange came out here and he thinks he challenged me, Jon Moxley. No, I challenge you. I challenged you when I had your friend Chuck Taylor’s neck broken," said Moxley. [H/T All Elite Wrestling's official website]
It is now official. Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy will lock horns for the AEW World Championship at the upcoming Full Gear pay-per-view.
