A popular star was pushed to the limit tonight at AEW Fyter Fest. Apart from being busted open during the match, they ended up losing via a referee stoppage.
Mark Briscoe has found himself in the path of the Death Riders after he got involved in the Anarchy in the Arena match at AEW Double or Nothing. This was not his first rodeo with them, but he has gained the attention of Jon Moxley. Briscoe dropped a challenge, and the two faced off earlier tonight.
The two men were willing to put their bodies on the line in the ring, and they did this. However, the Sussex Chicken had to deal with a handicap as Mox had Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir at the ringside. They played a big role as Yuta drove him head-first into the ring post while the referee was distracted, busting him open.
Despite this, the exchanges between both competitors kept on going, with Briscoe not giving in to the AEW World Champion. Jon Moxley is a dangerous individual, as he has a plethora of moves to put his opponents away.
Tonight, Mox showed his technical expertise, as he transitioned from a bulldog choke to other various chokeholds to put Mark Briscoe away. The referee eventually had to call for the bell to end the match.

He is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.
Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.
If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
