AR Fox discusses his recent heel turn.
On the July 26 episode of AEW Dynamite, AR Fox shocked fans when he turned on long time friend Darby Allin to join the ranks of The Mogul Embassy alongside Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana.
Fox would go on to quickly cement his status as a villain in AEW, as he joined Strickland in beating down Nick Wayne to a bloody pulp at his personal training ring that is named after his late father, Buddy Wayne.
While appearing on the latest episode of Talk Is Jericho, Fox revealed that he knew about his turn a couple weeks before it occurred.
“I heard about it a couple weeks before, everything was happening how it was gonna happen and stuff and I was kind of impressed because I love to know a little bit of what’s happening sooner rather than later, so that was really good. I had known about it for just a couple of weeks.”
Fox went on to note that he is excited to be a heel on a big stage.
“I want to show, the boys basically, that I can do just as good as a heel. I can do all the spots and those get over and all that stuff, but I want to put the same amount of thought into a subtle, cut-off type [of style]. I want to try and show that I’m just as good at being a heel.”
Fox then stated he's also excited to incorporate his flashy and high-risk move set into his heel persona.
Strickland and Fox are set to compete on the August 4 episode of AEW Rampage. Fans can see the lineup for the show by clicking here.
