JR welcomes us to the show as Jon Moxley makes his entrance! Moxley soaks in the crowd as he walks to the ring. He gets a mic as the crowd chant “CM Punk!” Moxley says he knows Chicago loves Punk but he thinks they are still mopping him up off the amt in Cleveland. Moxley says Punk is a load of crap, when guys get in the ring with Moxley they find out what they are really made of. Last week we learned what Punk was made of, Punk doesn’t care. He was looking for a way out. He folded.

Moxley says champions never fold. He is sorry Punk didn’t turn out to be what they wanted him to be. It didn’t work out. Moxley has zero sympathy for Punk. Punk fragile ego, fragile body, weak mind, weak spirit. Moxley has an open contract for a match at All Out. Anybody, any time, any place. Who will sign it? Maybe somebody for New Japan. When you step in the ring with Moxley, I can out marathon you, out fight you, I give far fewer “you know whats” than you do. Wrestling Moxley is hazardous to your health. Moxley leaves the contract in the ring and leaves.
