5 Biggest AEW Stories of the Week for 12/04/22

1. You Can’t Trust The Devil

This week’s Dynamite saw William Regal introduce new AEW World Champion MJF. The new champion was quick to take shots at Jon Moxley, The Firm, Eddie Kingston, Bryan Danielson and his first challenger come Winter Is Coming: World Title Eliminator Tournament winner Ricky Starks.

MJF would go on to reveal his own personalized version of the AEW World Championship belt, “The Big Burberry Belt” or “Triple B”. The title looks identical to the previous design, but features a new brown leather strap with the same Burberry pattern as MJF’s signature scarf.

The segment closed with MJF knocking out Regal, telling him he made a deal with the devil. Danielson then ran down to the ring, fresh off a victory over FTR’s Dax Harwood, checking on Regal before he was stretchered out of the ring.

2. The Elite Make It 2-1

The main event of Dynamite saw Death Triangle take on The Elite in the third match of their AEW World Trios Championship Best Of 7 Series. PAC and The Lucha Bros came into the bout with a 2-0 lead over Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks.

The match concluded with PAC attempting the Black Arrow before Matt Jackson got the knees up and scored the pin. Match four of the series will take place in two weeks at Winter Is Coming.

3. A Hangman’s Return

Jon Moxley opened this week’s edition of Dynamite to cut a promo. The former AEW World Champion declared that nobody could outwork, out-hustle, out-wrestle, out-bleed, or out-sweat him. Moxley declared there was no one in the building who had the balls to tell him any different.

Hangman Adam Page then made his way down to the ring. Page has been on the sidelines following a nasty concussion back in mid-October during a highly anticipated matchup with Moxley for the AEW World Championship. Things quickly got physical, as security had to pull the two apart. A matchup between the two seems inevitable and would be an excellent edition to Winter Is Coming.
