Bryan Danielson with strong words to Okada and the look on Moxley’s face when Danielson calls Okada a coward was priceless. Calling Takeshita “tall, dark, and sexy” plus Takeshita showing some real presence with a confident heel posture is slowly but surely making him a star. Jon Moxley continues to be the best promo in the company. Like him or not, Jarrett is a heat machine and can still get the fans invested every time no matter how ridiculous the match is.
