Jon Moxley appeared on the KXNT Flip the Strip radio show to talk about his recent debut at AEW Double or Nothing following his departure from the WWE. Moxley calls AEW a dream, and says it feels like the fans and the wrestlers are on the same team again.
I’ve always been friends with Cody, Jericho. Bunch of guys that I know there and there are a bunch of guys I haven’t met yet that I can’t wait to work with. Their vision of what pro wrestling is, the first step for me was getting out of WWE, see the landscape. I could do independents, go to japan, just do signings or go to places, do a DDT and get a good pay day but that isn’t what I want to do. The ethos of the place, “Play your music your way,” was all I needed to hear. AEW is the dream. An awesome wrestling company that is actually awesome. It’s a by the boys for the boys type thing. … [The wrestlers] and the fans, we’re all on the same team. I think it’s cool to be a wrestling fan again.
He also gives his thoughts on Cody’s symbolic “smashing of the throne” statement prior to the American Nightmare’s clash with his brother Dustin Rhodes at the same event.
I thought it was awesome. What he wanted to do with that is symbolize that he’s a wrestler right now and not an executive. But art is open to interpretation. If you wanted him to say it was him smashing Triple H’s throne with his stupid sledgehammer then that’s what it was to you. I love it.
