AEW World Champion Jon Moxley comments on how AEW is changing.
Speaking with New York Post Sports, Jon Moxley was asked about the current shift in AEW.
“It’s gonna be whatever we make it, whatever we stand up and take ownership of this opportunity,” Jon Moxley said. “It can be whatever the f*ck we want it to be. There’s no rules. Any rules we have, ‘Oh, we gotta have interviews on the set that look like this, we gotta have this in this time, we gotta put this up,’ any kind of rules we have are just things we’ve put on ourselves.
“It’s pro wrestling, and it’s always evolving, and you gotta stay evolving with it, or you get left behind. You’re always learning and always growing. The attitude that we’re building, the attitude that you’re feeling, the energy that you’re feeling in the locker room, backstage and the arena, everything surrounding AEW, it’s a different kind of attitude. It’s very exciting. There’s a lot of stuff that won’t be a part of this AEW.”
Jon Moxley On AEW’s New Direction
Moxley continued by recalling how he heard someone backstage say that a segment “didn’t matter” because it was the bottom of the card. He said that one should be “pistol-whipped” for saying that.
“For example, earlier in the year, I was having a conversation, or I was around the conversation,” Jon Moxley said. “I heard somebody, a backstage type person, talking about interviews or pretapes or something, and it was a situation where talents were not put in a position to succeed due to lack of preparation and framework and direction and things like that. This individual said, ‘Well, it’s the bottom of the card, it doesn’t matter.’ Can you imagine saying that? Like you’re f*cking fired, you’re f*cking fired, go work at Sunglass Hut.
“You should be f*cking piTol-whipped for saying that. For one, everybody that’s 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 a lot of frustration and confusion for some of these talents because there’s no f*cking ladder. They don’t know what to do. They’re just kind of wandering in the desert. So we’re going to grab them, and we’re gonna grab them by the shoulder, and we’re gonna walk ‘em.”
