Jon Moxley has waged war on AEW, starting at AEW All Out when he betrayed Bryan Danielson and suffocated him with a plastic bag.
Moxley went on to defeat Danielson at AEW WrestleDream, winning the AEW World Title and ending Danielson's full-time career. Moxley has taken Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, and Marina Shafir to help him in his takeover on AEW.
Speaking to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, Moxley was asked if now is the right time to "take a look at everything" with the new TV deal beginning in January 2025.
"It's going to be whatever we make it. Whatever we stand up and take ownership of this opportunity. It can be whatever the fuck we want it to be. There are no rules. Any rules we have, 'We have to have interviews on the set that look like this. We have to have this at this time. We have to put this up.' Any rules we have are just things we put on ourselves. It's pro wrestling and it's always evolving. You have to stay evolving with it or you get left behind. You're always learning and always growing. The attitude that we're building around, the attitude that you're feeling and the energy that you're feeling in the locker room, backstage, and in the arenas, everything surrounding AEW is a different kind of attitude. Very exciting.
"There will be a lot of stuff that won't be a part of this AEW. For example, earlier in the year, I was having a conversation or was around the conversation, earlier in the year, I heard a backstage type person talking about interviews or pre-tapes or something. It was a situation where talents were not put in a position to succeed due to lack of preparation, framework, direction, and things like that. This individual said, 'Well, it's bottom of the card, it doesn't matter.' Can you imagine saying that? You're fucking fired. Go work at Sunglass Hut. You should be fucking pistol-whipped for saying that. For one, everybody that is on the top of the card was at one time on the bottom of the card. That's how it works. You climb the ladder. You see this frustration or confusion from some of these talents because there's no fucking ladder. They don't know what to do. They are just wandering in the desert. We're going to grab them and we're going to walk them."
Moxley will defend his AEW World Title against Orange Cassidy at AEW Full Gear.
Moxley is set to seize control of TBS on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite. Fans can check out the current lineup for AEW Dynamite by clicking here.
