Jon Moxley is the new AEW World Champion and on Dynamite he issued a serious threat to everyone in the company and warned he’s in charge now.

At WrestleDream, Jon Moxley won the AEW World Championship from Bryan Danielson bringing Danielson’s full-time career to an end as well. After the bout, the Blackpool Combat Club were far from done as they continued to attack Danielson with Wheeler Yuta turning on his mentor and placing a plastic bag over his head in an attempt to suffocate him.

The BCC were eventually run off by most of the AEW locker room but on Dynamite in San Jose, Jon Moxley had a message to share with the rest of what he sees as his company.

Jon Moxley Says He’s In Charge Now

A video played from after Moxley’s win to open Dynamite with Jon Moxley addressing the future of AEW with him in charge:

Let me tell you something. Someone has to be responsible when things get out of control. So I will be responsible. People think they know what I’m about, they think they know what motivates me. They don’t know anything.

I have a dream of a land of opportunity where people come to AEW and they can achieve anything they want, they can be the best version of themselves they can be. Wrestling gave me everything I have in the world, I want that for other people. 150 wrestlers on the roster, big fat paychecks and their junk in their hands, what are they supposed to do? Where are they supposed to go?

I hate what AEW has become. Egos out of control. Celebrating when there’s no need to celebrate, dancing and partying when there’s no need for dancing and partying. I cannot stand it any more.

I will burn down the forest to plant a new one. I’m not sentimental. I will do what has to be done. We will do what has to be done. We can see a better future, and we will make it happen. If you wanna come with us, you can come with us. If you don’t, run while you can. Stand down while you can. Get out of the way.

What’s the need to know for those in AEW? What’s the need to know? What is the new paradigm? It’s very simple – you work for me now.
