Following his AEW World Championship defense against Cope on the March 19 edition of Dynamite, Jon Moxley appears to be in good condition despite a particularly brutal weapons spot.

The champion faced Cope in a Street Fight Match after their previous encounter at Revolution. During their violent confrontation, Moxley absorbed punishment from a weapon referred to as “Spike” – a board covered with metal nails.

The championship match featured a cringe-inducing moment when Moxley took a suplex directly onto this weaponized board, resulting in several nails penetrating his back.

Footage showing Wheeler Yuta and the referee carefully removing these metal spikes from Moxley’s back circulated among concerned viewers after the match.

According to Fightful Select, despite the alarming visual, Moxley’s condition was stable following the match conclusion. The report characterized the reaction to this dangerous sequence as “wild,” noting disbelief that the spot actually materialized after multiple teases.

Moxley emerged victorious from the Street Fight Match, successfully retaining his AEW World Championship heading into the company’s upcoming Dynasty pay-per-view.

According to Fightful, AEW officials have begun developing plans for a champion versus champion confrontation between Mercedes Moné and Athena. This highly-anticipated clash could materialize as early as the upcoming Dynasty event.

Despite sharing the ring on more than thirty occasions throughout their careers, the current TBS and ROH Women’s World Champions have never faced each other in a singles match.

The rivalry framework appears to be taking shape through strategic elements recently presented on television. Billie Starkz was positioned as an observer during Moné’s Revolution encounter with Momo Watanabe, creating a subtle connection between the champions’ orbits.

Social media interactions following Moné’s March 19 victory over Starkz provide additional evidence of the building narrative. These digital exchanges further establish the groundwork for what would be a significant championship collision.

Moné approaches her ten-month milestone as TBS Champion, while Athena has maintained her grip on the ROH Women’s World Championship for over two years.

Their last shared in-ring experience occurred in 2018, when Athena emerged victorious in a Triple Threat Match that included Moné. This marks a six-year gap since they’ve competed against each other in any capacity.

Saraya has openly discussed retirement plans during a recent Sports Illustrated interview, suggesting her wrestling career will conclude when her AEW contract expires in September.

The former AEW Women’s World Champion has been absent from television since October 2024. Her final match victory came against Nyla Rose on AEW Rampage in August 2024.

During the Sports Illustrated conversation, Saraya directly addressed her wrestling future.

I’m letting people defeat me left and right. I was on a losing streak, but I just wanted to give a gift to people. I want to encourage everyone, because I’m not going to be free in wrestling forever. I’m coming to the end of my career and it will be very soon. And I don’t want to go around thinking: “I need to be out there.

Saraya’s last AEW appearance occurred during the October 8 episode of Dynamite, where she participated in a Four-Way Women’s World Title Eliminator Match against Jamie Hayter, Willow Nightingale and Nyla Rose.

Her upcoming book titled “Hell in Boots: Clawing My Way Through Nine Lives” releases next Tuesday, March 25. Saraya announced book signing dates through her official X account.

Saraya captured the AEW Women’s World Championship in 2023, her only title achievement with Tony Khan’s promotion.
