**CONTAINS SPOILERS**
Tonight’s episode of AEW DYNAMITE: Presented By Game Of Thrones: House Of The Dragon was broadcast live from the Charleston Coliseum in Charleston, WV!
Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, Excalibur, and “The Human Suplex Machine” Taz were the broadcast team for tonight’s event.
It’s Wednesday night and you know what that means!
Tonight’s episode of DYNAMITE was presented by the new HBO series HOUSE OF DRAGON which premieres Sunday.
AEW World Champion CM Punk kicked off the show!
CM Punk: “Haven’t been here in some time and I have some business to attend do. There’s somebody that’s from around these parts that I would like to challenge to a rematch and I would like to do it right here, right now.
“ ‘Hangman’ Adam Page, you want that rematch, you got it right here, right now. Let’s go!”
There was no Adam Page to answer the challenge.
“That’s not ‘Cowboy’ S—T, that’s Coward S—T. If anybody else has a problem with the champ, I suggest you come on down. I understand that Jon Moxley has a lot of fans. He can be number one in your heart, but he’s not number one in this ring.
“I know what it takes to be the best in the world. I know what it’s like to lose. Jon Moxley has always been number two. You can boo if you want. Jon Moxley is the third best guy in his own group and that seems to be a reoccurring theme in his career. Tell me when I’m telling lies.
“Jon Moxley has been Interim AEW Champion. Look it up: it means temporary. I’m willing to test myself against him. I have yet to defend this title and that’s what I’m doing at the ALL OUT pay-per-view. I’m looking to test my belt against Jon Moxley’s belt.”
AEW Interim World Champion Jon Moxley’s music hit!
Jon Moxley entered the ring with a microphone.
Moxley: “Look out, CM Punk is dropping pipe bombs. Doing what he does best: writing checks with his mouth that his body can’t cash. You think that microphone in your hands is power. But this is a real world and it’s just a microphone.
“Those words you spit into it don’t mean s—t. That belt on your shoulder don’t mean s—t. My belt doesn’t mean s—t, not until I beat you. I’m the heart and soul of this company.”
CM Punk: “Good, you can be the heart and soul. I’ll be the dollars and cents.”
Moxley: “We both know you only came to AEW because you ran out of money. We both know that you ran out of fighting spirit a long time ago. You want to prove me wrong, go ahead and do something about it. I don’t think you’re going to do s—t.”
CM Punk: “We’ve got a match coming up at the pay-per-view. If I do anything know, I’m afraid you’re just going to bleed all over.”
CM Punk and Jon Moxley began to brawl until AEW security staff sprinted down and had them separated.
Tony Schiavone was backstage with Powerhouse Hobbs!
Hobbs: “I don’t need any friends. Ricky Starks, your true colors came out. You told the world you’re okay with losing. I’m not okay with losing. For two years you got to hide behind my back. I was hired to do one thing: to make sure you stayed champion and you couldn’t do it. And as far as QT Marshall and the Factory? I’ve got something for them too!”

“I had to go home after last week and I had to do some reflecting. I’m going to get in this ring if it’s okay. Listen, obviously frustration boiled over when you lost the tag team championships. We said some things that I don’t think either of us meant.
