Moxley is out first, making his lengthy way through the back with Marina Shafir by his side. Commentary takes the time during his entrance to recap some of the events of “AEW Dynamite” this week. Daniel Garcia comes out next, and he’s all business (almost), with the crowd already chanting his name.

Moxley circles Garcia and they lock hands in a test of strength. Moxley backs Garcia into the corner; Garcia switches. Moxley gets in the ropes, forcing the ref to back Garcia up. They lock up, Mox twists Garcia’s arm behind his back but Garcia takes Mox down with a drop toehold and applies an STF. Garcia rolls into a cover but only gets one, and both men are to their feet.

Test of strength again, or at least Mox teases it before going to Garcia’s back, rolling him into a snapmare and kicking him. Garcia back to his feet and his suddenly unloading with forearms, backing Mox into the corner, but Mox whips Garcia into the other corner and drops him with a clothesline. Then the same thing again, across the ring to the other ring post. Now Mox has Garcia down and his twisting his finger Pete Dunne style. Mox with piefaces to Moxley in the corner and a big chop, then he climbs to the second rope and delivers punches. Mox torturing Garcia now, shoving his thumbs into Garcia’s face while the crowd boos. Garcia tries to fight back with a chop but Mox delivers a harder chant and drops him. Mox almost trying to fire Garcia up, Garcia hits a chop but again eats a harder one. Mox backs Garcia into the former and hits him with a variety of strikes, then a boot to the face. Garcia reverses a whip in the corner and runs in; Mox tries to get his foot up but Garcia catches him and nails a Dragon Screw leg whip.

Garcia now taking control, dropping Moxley again and working over his leg on the bottom rope. Garcia drags Moxley into the corner and whips his knee into the ring post, then delivers punches and whips the knee into the post again. Garcia now applies a figure four leglock around the ring post; he breaks the hold before he gets disqualified, but Garcia is being particularly vicious. Shafir offers Garcia a hand up, but he refuses her. She drags him up anyway. He gets on the apron but Moxley hits a dropkick and drops him to the floor on the outside as we go to commercial.

Back from break, the ref is calling for a rope break and Mox has to get off Garcia’s arm. Mox and Garcia roll onto the apron and Mox gets him into a fireman’s carry. Garcia with elbows to escape and does, then continues delivering elbows to Mox’s collarbone. Garcia lifts up Mox and hits a piledriver on the apron! Mox now on the outside, Garcia in the ring, both men trying to recover. Mox back to his feet first and gets back in the ring, he ducks a Garcia clothesline and turns it into a choke, but Garcia counters into a back suplex. Garcia unloads with right hands on Mox, again driving him into the corner and now stomping a mudhole in his ass! Now Garcia delivers a running facewash kick to Mox, then another! Mox is defenseless. Garcia charges again but Moxley counters into a sharpshooter attempt, then rolls up Garcia but only gets two! Garcia with a swinging neckbreaker, and now they’re going to the top and Garcia hits a superplex! Garcia rolls into the cover but Moxley kicks out at two! But as he does, Garcia locks in Moxley’s own Bulldog Choke! Mox is in trouble but manages to hit the Death Roller. Garcia kicks out at two! He eats a running knee from Mox but kicks out at two again. Moxley with the Bulldog Choke, Garcia rolls out of it and gets Mox in the Dragontamer! Moxley has nowhere to go, tries to go for Garcia’s throat but Garcia escapes and wrenches back on the hold again. Moxley barely manages to get a finger on the ropes to break the hold.

Moxley now saying something to Garcia and piefaces him. Garcia nails a big forearm, then another. Mox wants more, egging Garcia on. Garcia continues striking Garcia, over and over again, until the ref pulls him off. Garcia off the ropes, Mox kicks him, goes for the Death Roller but it’s countered, now a vertical suplex attempt takes both men out of the ring at the same time! Mox is back on his feet as a “fight forever” chant starts. Moxley is frustrated but Garcia wants to fight in the ring! Now they’re exchanging punches, slaps, chops! An eblow from Moxley, Garcia goes for a Jawbreaker Lariat but Moxley counters, Garcia goes for a roll-up, Moxley counters with a roll-up of his own and gets the three-count!

Winner: Jon Moxley

Moxley talks some trash after the match, then departs as Garcia looks on in the ring in disbelief. Shafir is still here, talking to Daddy Magic and clapping at Garcia’s effort. Menard goes to comfort Garcia but Garcia shoves him away. Now Tony Schiavone has a microphone and starts to congratulate Garcia on the performance. Garcia interrupts him and says he’s got nothing to show for his five years of incredible performances. Garcia says Schiavone has been watching him for five years and knows that when Garcia falls, he gets back up. The crowd chants “Danny, Danny.” Garcia says it’s been a good five years, but sometimes good just ain’t good enough. Then he drops the mic and walks out while Menard follows him, protesting.

A recap airs of the main event and subsequent attack on Kenny Omega from “AEW Dynamite” on Wednesday.
