Moxley vs. Guevara set for Bash at the Beach episode of AEW Dynamite

After refusing Chris Jericho’s offer to join the Inner Circle, Jon Moxley will face off with a member of the group next week.

AEW has announced Moxley vs. Sammy Guevara for next Wednesday’s Bash at the Beach-themed episode of Dynamite. The show is taking place at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida.

The main event angle on last night’s Dynamite was Moxley responding to Jericho’s offer. Moxley acted like he was joining the Inner Circle, then said he was just kidding and would never join them. He called the Inner Circle a stupid group and said the only thing Jericho has that he wants is the AEW World Championship.

Moxley then hit Jericho in the head with a bottle of champagne, gave Jericho and Guevara Paradigm Shift DDTs, and avoided Jake Hager before exiting through the crowd.

Moxley is ranked as the top challenger in the men’s division in AEW’s first roster rankings of the year.

This is the fourth match announced for next week’s Dynamite. PAC will face Darby Allin, Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida will team against Awesome Kong & Mel, and Diamond Dallas Page, Dustin Rhodes & QT Marshall will take on MJF, The Butcher & The Blade.

After WCW last held the event in 2000, the Bash at the Beach name is returning for AEW.

AEW announced this morning that the Wednesday, January 15 edition of Dynamite will be named Bash at the Beach. The show is taking place at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida, with tickets going on sale this Friday at noon Eastern time. The Watsco Center is on the campus of the University of Miami.

AEW also issued a press release announcing that Bash at the Beach will be “an unprecedented, nine-day experience for superfans that features two Dynamite shows, a cruise onboard Chris Jericho’s tricked-out party ship, and non-stop entertainment in between.” It will include the January 22 episode of Dynamite being filmed from Jericho’s Rock N Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise.

“AEW’s Bash at the Beach events will deliver nine unforgettable days of wrestling and much more from the hottest company in the business today,” Jericho said. “Thousands of the Friends Of Jericho onboard the SOLD OUT ‘Rock N Wrestling Rager At Sea’ will have the experience of their lives, and now millions more will be able to watch AEW Dynamite along with us, as we break out the bubbly together from Miami to the Bahamas.”

Cody Rhodes filed a trademark for Bash at the Beach in March of this year.
