Juice Robinson (6 points) vs. Jon Moxley (10 points)

Juice and Moxley start the match with some hard strikes, and Moxley doesn’t sell a clothesline. Juice blocked a suplex, but started selling his knee, as Moxley was working over it last night. Moxley then got the advantage and dropkicked the knee and tried to tear it apart to get the advantage.

Moxley got the heat here for a bit before locking on a figure four, while the crowd got very behind Juice. Juice tried to turn it over to put the pressure on Moxley, and succeeded, but Moxley made it to the ropes. Juice hit a back elbow and went for the Juice Box, but Moxley countered and locked on the Texas Cloverleaf.

Juice almost made it to the ropes, but Moxley dragged him back to the middle of the ring. Juice, to escape, just bit Moxley’s ear ring off! Holy crap! Moxley hit a flapjack and then a huge lariat followed by huge left hands in the corner. Juice hit a huge cannonball. Juice went to the top rope, but Moxley cut him off. Moxley went to the floor and pulled a table out from under the ring.

Juice hit a tope and sent Moxley into the barricade. Juice went for the table, but the referee told him not to use it. Juice looked at the ref and slid the table back under the ring and gave a thumbs up to the ref to a big pop from the crowd. That was great. Moxley tried to hit Juice with a chair as his leg was against the ring post, but Juice dodged and hit a cannonball off the apron.

Juice grabbed the chair and put it back in the announcer area, to another pop from the crowd. Juice hit a flying crossbody off the top rope, but he hurt his knee in the process and just got a near fall. Juice and Mox exchanged strikes as the fans chanted “Juice!” and “Mox!” as they connected. They were clearly having a ton of fun here.

Mox went for Death Rider, but Juice countered and went for Pulp Friction, but Mox reversed and locked on an ankle lock on Juice! Juice made it to the ropes, but Moxley pulled him back into the ring, hammered his neck with hard forearms, and locked on a huge STF. Moxley tried to put him to sleep, and it looked like he was completely out.

Moxley yelled “He’s out!” The ref raised the hand 3 times, but on the third time, Juice grabbed the pants leg of the ref to show he wasn’t out! Moxley thought he won! Moxley wanted to be declared the winner, but the ref said he wasn’t out. Moxley hit a running knee and a throwing suplex. Moxley is determined to make sure Juice doesn’t come back.

Mox grabbed two chairs and a bucket from underneath the ring. Moxley grabbed a table and put it in the ring, and the ref is telling him that he can’t use it. Juice rolled him up for a near fall, but Moxley bit his eyebrow again! Juice hit a huge left and managed to hit Pulp Friction! Juice Robinson gets the pinfall!

Result: Juice Robinson (8 points)

Rating: ****3/4 (4.75 stars)
