Jon Moxley defeats Ortiz

AEW Dynamite February 5

Off a distraction from Santana, Ortiz took the early advantage in this match. On the outside of the ring, Ortiz tossed Moxley face first into the steps. Back in the ring, Ortiz rubbed his elbow across Moxley’s wounded eye. Moxley cinched in a figure four that Ortiz countered by poking him in the eye.

On the outside, Moxley tossed Ortiz into the barricade to take back the advantage. The match went back and forth until Moxley hit the Death Rider DDT for the pinfall victory.

After the match, Santana attacked and Moxley gave him a Paradigm Shift too. Moxley reached into his pocket and pulled out a car key and shouted “An eye for an eye” before ramming the key into Santana’s eye.
