Thanks in great part to Lance Archer, “everybody” went over the top rope in the Casino Battle Royale this past Saturday at AEW All Out and it earned the Murderhawk Monster a shot at Jon Moxley’s AEW World Title.
It was revealed that Lance Archer will speak about him earning that shot against Moxley and you best believe that Jake Roberts will be slithering in his corner.
TONIGHT on Dynamite – We will hear from the number one contender for the AEW World Championship 'The MurderHawk Monster' @LanceHoyt!

Moxley has quite the battle of his own at All Out as he successfully defended his Title against MJF in what became a very bloody bout.
The champ is no stranger to either man as he and Archer were embroiled in quite the feud over the IWGP United States Title way back in January of this year under the New Japan Pro-Wrestling banner. Moxley stepped out victorious reclaiming a title he was originally stripped of, but the landscape has figuratively and literally changed since Wrestle Kingdom 14.
As for Roberts, the two ran into each other back on an “Old School” RAW episode in which a then laid out Dean Ambrose felt a yellow python roll across his body after a surprising Jake The Snake showed up to close out the episode.
