Jon Moxley speaks.
Just days after retiring Bryan Danielson at AEW WrestleDream, AEW World Champion Jon Moxley opened AEW Dynamite with a heated promo from the back of a pick up truck. In the promo, Moxley touched on wanting a better future for AEW and how he is begging people to stand down if they're not with him. Moxley ended the promo by telling the AEW roster that they work for him now.
“Somebody has to be responsible when things get out of control, so I will be the one responsible. People think they know what I’m about, but 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 that they can be. Wrestling gave me everything I had in the world, I want that for other people. 150 wrestlers on the roster, the big fat paychecks and their junk in their hands, what are they supposed to do? Where are they supposed to go, huh? I hate what AEW has become. Egos out of control, celebrating when there’s no need to be celebrating, dancing and partying when there’s no need for dancing and partying. I cannot stand it anymore. 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 want to 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.”
"What is the new paradigm?"
