Since AEW All Out, Jon Moxley shifted the landscape of AEW when he, Claudio Castagnoli, and PAC attacked Bryan Danielson and suffocated him with a plastic bag.
Moxley went on to win the AEW World Title, which he now carries in a briefcase, and speaks about wanting to change AEW for the better and ridding it of egos.
“We’re building. It’s about a lot more than what happens in the ring. Building something sustainable for the future that we can take pride in, we’ve been doing that for the past few months," Moxley told Anthony Sulla-Heffinger of the Uncrowned. "It’s about a mindset and an approach of taking pride in what we do. We have a lot of guys and girls that are part of it. I’m pretty proud, but it’s a long game and it’s little tiny victories every day and a constant learning process. It’s really exciting.
“Any time you step into the ring, any time you get the camera pointed at you with the light on, any time you do anything, it’s going to be whatever you make it. Everybody’s a good wrestler at AEW. I don’t know if there’s ever been a roster assembled of this many purely great, get-in-the-ring-and-wrestle pro wrestlers. There’s so much more to it though, to put yourself in a position to use those skills and capitalize with them. You can see some guys evolving to the next level beyond just being good wrestlers. It’s very gratifying to see."
Moxley is set to defend his AEW World Title against Powerhouse Hobbs at AEW Dynamite Maximum Carnage.
