Jon Moxley and Nigel McGuinness are moving on in the AEW Continental Challenge Cup.
This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured two matches in the tournament — Jon Moxley vs. Jay White and Nigel McGuinness vs. Hechicero.
In the first match, Moxley was able to knock off Jay White. The submission finish came when Moxley put White to sleep with a sleeper hold. This came after White kicked out of the Death Rider finisher.
