8/28/24 AEW Dynamite: Champaign, IL (Ricky Havlik) /

Jon Moxley is the new AEW World Champion and on his first Dynamite as champ he made a bold declaration.

Just like the last two weeks, this week's show opened with a pre-taped promo video from Moxley. The background for Moxley was the back of a truck that was driving away from the WrestleDream show. In the promo Moxley said he hated what AEW had become and that everyone in the company was working for him now.

"What is the new paradigm?"

Since Moxley's heel turn at the All Out PPV event in September, Moxley has alluded to a higher power driving his actions and dark personality. It appears that Moxley himself is the man behind the madness and that winning the world championship gave him the power needed to keep his vision for the company in focus.

Moxley is the only four-time world champion in AEW history. Moxley defeated Bryan Danielson at WrestleDream on Saturday night and then viciously attacked him with his new Blackpool Combat Club faction of Claudio Castagnoli, Pac, and Marina Shafir. Moxley and Danielson started the BCC in 2022.

Former BCC member, Wheeler Yuta, seemingly ran to the ring to save Danielson, but then attacked him as well at Moxley's direction. Yuta used a plastic bag to suffocate Danielson just like Moxley did nearly six weeks ago. Because of the loss, Danielson has retired as a full-time wrestler in AEW.
