The 'Bash at the Beach' episode of AEW Dynamite was notable for the segment featuring Jon Moxley and The Inner Circle where Chris Jericho injured Moxley's eye with a metal spike that was on his jacket apart from a brutal match between PAC and Darby Allin.
NXT's episode was not short of wrestling either as it featured two first-round matches of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and a No. 1 Contender's Battle Royal match in the main event for the NXT Women's Championship.
