In one of the most gruesome spots in pro-wrestling history, Jon Moxley, also known as Dean Ambrose from his time in WWE, got the Spike, a nail-studded board, stuck in his back after landing onto it during AEW Dynamite episode from the the Liberty First Credit Union Arena in Omaha. The gnarly incident happened during a AEW World Championship street fight between Jon Moxley and Cope, but despite that, the reigning champion managed to defend his title successfully.
During the championship match, Jon Moxley was attempting to injure the surgically repaired neck of Cope, who is also known as Edge from his time in WWE, and in response, the latter brought his infamous Spike, the nail-studded board into the contest. After Jon Moxley unintentionally landed on the Spike, he reeled in pain as the nail got stuck into his skin on the back, drawing blood in the process.

Jon Moxley retained AEW World Championship despite the gruesome incident
When his Deathrider ally Wheeler Yuta and the referee struggled to pull out the Spike from the body, Jon Moxley’s skin got stretched as the cameras cut away from showcasing the scene live. After the Spike was removed from Jon Moxley’s back, the medical team checked on him, and in the meantime, chaos ensued inside the right, which ultimately benefited the champion.
At the very end, Jon Moxley managed to retain the AEW World Championship against Cope, with the assistance from his Deathrider allies Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli (Cesaro), and PAC (Neville). With that, the group also got revenge from Cope for taking them out of action on the road to Revolution, and the latter’s attempt at winning the title went in vain.
