WATCH: Jon Moxley choked out Adam Copeland for win at AEW Grand Slam (Photograph: X)
The Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane, Australia, is hosting the AEW Grand Slam. At "AEW Grand Slam Australia," world champion Jon Moxley defeated Cope, his Revolution opponent, by choking him out. From the moment the bell rang, everyone fought, spilling onto the floor, then into the ring and back out. Claudio and Cope got into a fight as soon as the action spilled into the audience. At one point, either White or Moxley pulled a table out into the floor.
Along with other Death Riders Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir, Cope was teamed up with Jay White to take on the duo of Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli. The two had been confined in a briefcase for the past few months as they pursued the World Championship.
White lost the December four-way title fight with Moxley, which also featured "Hangman" Adam Page and Orange Cassidy, before Cope's unexpected comeback to face Moxley. Cope lost to Moxley in the tag match on Saturday, but he will face Moxley for the AEW World championship himself at Revolution in March.

Jon Moxley choked Copeland's neck didn't have any chance to move
Both Yuta and Shafir would become involved in a fight that featured barbed wire chairs, tables, trashcans, and other weapons in an attempt to finally crush their opponents' hopes. He tried to finish the fight with a conchairto after Copeland had pummeled him with a barbed wire chair, but Castagnoli gave him a Gotch-style neutralizer.
He kicked out the attempted pinfall, but the maneuver left him vulnerable, allowing Moxley to lock in the bulldog choke in the center of the ring. Jon Moxley cranked on Cope's neck, leaving him with nowhere to escape. Yuta stopped White from returning to the ring, and the referee ordered the stoppage to end the bout.
