Darby Allin praises Jon Moxley.
Moxley is a three-time AEW World Champion, and he has been the face of the company throughout his time there. The company has often called on Moxley in times of need, and he has always been a constant.

“It sounds kind of strange to say this, but I think it’s Jon Moxley,” Allin said. “When he first came to the company, he was the guy. I remember being like, ‘This is game-changing,’ for him to show up at Double or Nothing. I felt like he was just another guy for a while. He was thrown into random matches for the sake of it. If you give Jon the ball, there is no better performer than him.
“I felt like his run last year, he became IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, but in the world of AEW, I felt like he was just in random tag matches. I felt something when he came out at Double or Nothing, I felt the energy of the room change. Now, I feel he’s put himself right back in the fold by killing people with plastic bags.”
Jon Moxley beat Allin at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam to earn a world title shot. He will challenge Bryan Danielson for the gold at AEW WrestleDream.
