AEW All Out delivered a hard-hitting clash for the AEW World Championship between Bryan Danielson and Jack Perry. However, the real shocker came after the match. The Blackpool Combat Club (BCC) members joined World Champion Bryan Danielson to celebrate his victory, but the celebration quickly turned violent.
Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Marina Shafir hit the ring as allies but soon turned on Danielson. Claudio stunned fans by betraying Danielson, and Moxley took it even further. In a shocking move, Moxley wrapped a plastic bag around Danielson's face, choking him out. The Chicago crowd was horrified, chanting, "This is murder," as Moxley stood over Danielson's lifeless body. Wheeler Yuta, helplessly held back by PAC, watched his mentor get assaulted.
The betrayal left fans and the wrestling world stunned. Moxley, who has been on a deranged path since his return with Shafir, is rumored to be part of a new faction potentially led by Shane McMahon. Speculation around McMahon's involvement with AEW has been swirling, especially after his fallout with WWE in 2022 following disagreements with his father, Vince McMahon.
Reactions poured in online as fans expressed their disbelief and excitement for the storyline's future. Some criticized the spot, pointing out that Danielson could have easily torn the bag, while others praised the intensity of the segment. One user write that how stupid it was, as Danielson could have easily tore the plastic bag.
"Just tear the bag?? This was stupid, good job Tony.. ♂️ #AEWAllOut" — Danny (@D_1696) September 8, 2024.
