Jon Moxley sets the record straight on his opinion regarding The Elite.
The rivalry between the Blackpool Combat Club and The Elite is currently one of the biggest rivalries in all of professional wrestling. Another chapter was added to the feud on the May 10 episode of AEW Dynamite, as Moxley was able to defeat Omega in a Steel Cage match with the help of Omega's former manager, Don Callis.
In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Moxley said that while he does have issues with The Elite, he's not an old, bitter dude with a podcast talking about how the business used to be.
“A lot of people out there hate on the Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. We’re obviously attacking them and have our issues with them, but we are not old-ass f---ing bitter dudes with podcasts talking about how the business used to be. We are not that. A lot of people hate Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, and that’s because they hate themselves. It’s sad. There are plenty of people who hate me. I don’t give a f---. I don’t care what challenges you put in front of me or what s--- befalls me. I’m very pissed off. I will shove it up everybody’s flying ass. After last year, I have that attitude. Kenny and the Young Bucks have that attitude. It’s us against the universe. That attitude is AEW at its core.”
Moxley went on to tell people to keep betting against the fans of AEW, The Elite, and the Blackpool Combat Club and see how that works out for them.
“The power of AEW is from our fans. They’re the ones who bought 10,000 tickets to All In. It’s getting real big with these stadium deals. But we’re not going corporate. The message is ‘F--- you.’ Middle fingers everywhere. It’s us against the world. Keep betting against Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, and see what happens. Historically, that’s not a smart play. Keep betting against me or Bryan Danielson or Claudio. I’ve eaten so much f---ing s--- in this business, notwithstanding. I almost died multiple times. I’ve been as dragged through the mud as I can in this business. I’m bulletproof. I don’t give a f---. That’s the message of the day. Doubt any of the six of us and see how that works out.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Moxley said that the feud between The Elite and BCC is far from over. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
