Jon Moxley: I’ve Always Been The Guy For AEW, It’s The Chair I Sit In Until Someone Cuts My Head Off

Jon Moxley declared war and never looked back.

Since turning his back on Bryan Danielson. Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta, and Marina Shafir have been targeting the AEW roster and nitpicking who they believe belongs in AEW and which ones should have their heads cut off. Something he went in-depth on in a recent interview.

This piece of metal goes from one suitcase to another, and there’s some paperwork filed, but, basically, nothing has changed,” Moxley told Tom Valentino of News Herald. “I’ve always been the guy in that position for AEW. That’s not something you can just win in a match or a job you apply for. It’s something you either are or you aren’t. It’s the chair I sit in until someone cuts my head off and takes my position.

“A lot of people think they want that position and think that’s the guy they want to be, but they don’t. Some of the biggest names – really big stars and talented people – want to be that, but they don’t know what that entails. The actual work that goes into being that guy is not nearly as glamorous as it seems. It’s not a position of glory. It’s not sitting on the hood of a car going down the street in a parade getting confetti thrown on me. You have to be in the ditch, in the foxhole. You have to get dirt under your fingernails. You’re not doing it for yourself. That’s something a lot of people who think they want to be in that position will never understand.”

Moxley won the AEW World Championship and retired Danielson at AEW WrestleDream. He is set to make an appearance on the Halloween edition of AEW Dynamite.
