Jon Moxley Not Alone In AEW Thirst For Change
Jon Moxley has discussed just how real his current warpath is in AEW and why he can’t transform the company’s fortunes alone.
Moxley has made clear he is not happy with the road AEW is heading down and with his Death Riders behind him, he’s doing his best to rebuild the company in his own warped image.
Jon Moxley broke hearts when he ended the in-ring full-time career of Bryan Danielson when he defeated his old Blackpool Combat Club partner for the AEW World Championship at WrestleDream. With the AEW World Title, the AEW Trios Title, and the menacing Marina Shair all together, it doesn’t look like anyone will be able to stop them.
Jon Moxley Is Not Putting On An Act In AEW
Speaking to TV Insider, Jon Moxley has explained exactly why his drastic character tangent is not an act and he believes many people in AEW feel exactly the same way he does:
It’s very real. I’ve never been much of a putting-on-act kind of wrestler. Everything is always informed by where I’m at in real life outside the ring. I do take inspiration from all corners of the universe and funnel it through. At this point when it comes to my career and life, I just have no time for bullsh*t anymore. I don’t have time to beat around the bush.
I’m not necessarily alone in my thoughts and feelings. My feelings and motivations are quite ubiquitous throughout AEW. I’m just the one verbalizing it and getting to move it into action. Though I can’t do it by myself.
Jon Moxley also fears the wrestling business will be set back decades if AEW is allowed to fail – something he’s looking to avoid at all costs.
