Professional wrestling is a sport that often walks the fine line between entertainment and genuine danger. The recent AEW Dynamite Grand Slam event at Arthur Ashe Stadium was no exception, with the Jon Moxley match ending in a manner that left fans and professionals alike deeply concerned.
Jon Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose in the WWE, was defending his AEW International Title against Rey Fenix. The match took a concerning turn when Moxley seemed to sustain an injury following a move called the Black Fire Driver.
Observers noted that Moxley’s head appeared to be driven forcefully into the mat. What added to the alarm was Moxley’s gesture to referee Rick Knox, seemingly indicating him to start the pin count. This move was not part of the planned match conclusion.
However, Knox, perhaps sensing something was amiss, chose not to count to three, even when Moxley didn’t kick out. The match continued, and Fenix delivered another Black Fire Driver. This time, Knox counted the pin, bringing the match to an end.
