AEW World Champion Jon Moxley says AEW might have gotten things out of order with their expansion.
AEW recently scored a major win, as the EW signed a multi-year rights deal with Warner Brothers Discovery in October. This will keep the company on TBS and TNT for years to come, and it will also bring them to the Max streaming service. However, the company has been criticized recently, as viewership and ticket sales have decreased.
Speaking with Shakiel Mahjouri for CBS Sports, Jon Moxley commented on AEW’s rapid expansion.
“It’s only five years old. You start with two hours of TV, that’s one thing. Then three, then five. Now it’s a different thing,” Moxley said. “If you don’t have the infrastructure to support it, you fall to the level of your systems. If the branch pops out of the dirt before it’s ready, it will not have the structural integrity to hold the fruit it bears. I think we’ve maybe gotten things out of order.
“Crawl, walk, run. Maybe we went from a certain cadence of walk and tried to jump into a run and things got a little out of balance and split the differential. It’s just about getting into the right gear for the speed you’re attempting to drive. We’re going to do that. I’m actually quite excited about it.”
At AEW Full Gear, Jon Moxley will defend the AEW World Championship against Orange Cassidy.
