Jon Moxley, Nigel McGuinness Advance In Continental Cup On AEW Dynamite

Jon Moxley and Nigel McGuinness are in the semifinals of the Continental Challenge Cup, advancing on this week’s AEW Dynamite. Wednesday night’s show saw Moxley defeat Jay White in one quarterfinal matchup for the tournament, while McGuinness defeated Hechicero to advance in the other one.

Moxley beat White in about 19 and a half minutes to advance to the next round, making White pass out to the bulldog coke. Meanwhile, McGuinness — who was toughing out an injury suffered on this past weekend’s Collision — made Hechicero pass out to the London Lock in just under 10 and a half minutes.

You can see a clips from the AEW Dynamite matches below. Moxley and McGuinness are the first two to make it to the semifinals. The finals of the tournament will take place at AEW All In. The winner receives the Continental Cup and becomes (or retains, in Moxley’s case) the Continental Champion, earning an automatic spot in the Continental Cup in November.
