Mox gives a promo and says he’s fine with the IWGP Title on the line on Dynamite. He says it would be a fairy tale if Hobbs wins, but if he will be in the ring with Hobbs. And if Hobbs hasn’t found the thing inside him to lead him to winning, Mox will show him who he really is. He tells Hobbs not to hesitate for a second because he won’t.
