In a promo that was released today on AEW's official Twitter account, Moxley spoke about how he isn't satisfied and wants to "pick up right where he left off." Penta and Alex Abrahantes appeared on screen and accepted his challenge after Moxley said that he wants to "face someone with zero fear."

Moxley has been the AEW World Champion since his victory over Bryan Danielson at AEW: Grand Slam in September.

Moxley's last title defense was on the 10/18 episode of "Dynamite" and it was against "Hangman" Adam Page. The title match ended with the referee stopping it due to Page landing awkwardly on his head after taking a lariat from Moxley. Page was later taken to the Cincinnati hospital and diagnosed with a concussion. He has since been discharged.
