Jon Moxley / Dean Ambrose vs. Wheeler Yuta, from the April 8, 2022 episode of AEW Rampage

One day, Tony Khan woke up and said, “You know what? Let’s make a star out of the fourth banana in our pseudo-CHAOS slash Best Friends stable! That makes sense!” Then they did it, mostly by making the guy bleed eight gallons of blood and perfectly conveying a canyon of contrast, with Yuta working like this is the main event of WrestleMania and Moxley gradually realizing this match isn’t free money on a Friday night. Not since possibly the Young Bucks showing up WARRIORS-5 at DGUSA’s “Enter the Dragon” has someone’s stock risen on the strength of just one match.
