– During Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry evaluated AEW WrestleDream, specifically Jon Moxley vs. Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Title in the main event. He also predicted that Jon Moxley will gain a new AEW World Title Belt later this week on AEW Dynamite. Below are some highlights (vi aWrestlingInc.com):
On his issue with Moxley vs. Danielson at AEW WrestleDream: “I was also expecting Moxley to extend a hand or even if he didn’t extend a hand, kind of pay homage to Bryan. Bryan did a lot for the company and for the business of pro wrestling. For them, as an individual to be able to walk in there and have a match with a guy and have everybody on pins and needles and leaning forward into your seat, there’s a certain level of respect you have to give that man across the ring from you, even if you don’t like him.”
His thoughts on the main event: “Overall, in its totality, that main event segment did everything that pro wrestling is. It left you like, ‘Wow, them boys can really go. They told stories in the ring that was historical wrestling, one-on-one.'”
Mark Henry predicting a new title belt for Moxley: “One, why would I, as Jon Moxley, put over my shoulder, or put around my waist something that once touched Bryan Danielson? Two, why would I put on something that the representation of it is all that’s pure and good in the world?”
On what Moxley’s new title should look like: “The new AEW title that Moxley is going to bring is going to be filthy, nasty, it’s going have his signature on it. It’ll be a standalone AEW world title that looks completely different than the one Bryan Danielson had, and you put it in a bag and you put it away because it’s symbolic of ‘we’re going to put this to bed.'”
Tomorrow’s Dynamite will be held at the SAP Center in San Jose, California. It will be broadcast live on TBS starting at 8:00 pm EST.
