Jon Moxley Named Most Important Figure In AEW History For Key Reason

Jon Moxley has become AEW’s North Star.

When Jon Moxley made his debut at the first-ever AEW Double or Nothing event in 2019, no one could have predicted the impact he would have on the promotion.

In the moments after that debut, Moxley immediately became a key player in the main event scene, and he’s stayed there ever since. He’s enjoyed more World Title reigns than any other male star on the roster, while being the man the company turns to in times of crisis.

So, it’s perhaps unsurprising that AEW boss Tony Khan believes Moxley is one of the most important signings he’s ever made.

Jon Moxley Remains A Vital Presence In AEW

During a new interview with 3NT Wrestling, Tony Khan broke down just how important Jon Moxley is to AEW. He explained that the four-time World Champion is not only a phenomenal wrestler and phenomenal leader, but he’s also one of the most important figures in the company backstage.

Jon Moxley, since day one, has been one of the most important stars in AEW. But backstage, Jon Moxley’s also — as you’ve correctly assessed — one of the most important people backstage in AEW.

Everybody in AEW has so much respect for Jon Moxley. He arrived in AEW as a huge star. And since we started AEW, he’s been the most consistent presence on the show week in, week out on all of our shows.

Jon Moxley works so hard. He’s a phenomenal wrestler. He’s a phenomenal leader. He’s a genius about pro wrestling. And Jon Moxley’s one of my favorite people I’ve ever gotten to work with. And I’m really, really proud that Jon Moxley is in AEW. I think he was a fantastic World Champion time after time after time in AEW.

Everything he’s done in this company has been to the benefit of AEW. And Jon Moxley’s a phenomenal, phenomenal wrestler.”

On the special Title Tuesday episode of AEW Dynamite on October 7, Moxley will square off against Tomohiro Ishii. Following that match, Jon Moxley will look to finally end his rivalry with Darby Allin at WrestleDream in an “I Quit” Match.
