Jon Moxley has warned AEW not to be complacent despite recent successes.
The company recently announced a brand-new deal with Warner Bros Discovery. This $555 million contract will catapult the company into profitability for the first time, marking a huge turning point for Tony Khan and AEW.
Jon Moxley spoke with the NY Post about AEW’s recent success, ensuring the company wasn’t resting on its laurels after the new TV deal. He made it clear that they have to work harder after signing the TV deal, noting how “it can all go away” if they’re not careful.
“The more weight you put on something, you have to add infrastructure and support to support that, or otherwise, it’s gonna break down.”
“That’s all great. But this isn’t a time to celebrate.” Jon Moxley warned. “You didn’t just win the Super Bowl. There’s no time to go to f–king Disney World, you know? I mean, this is an opportunity, right? That’s what not what that is. Now, we have work to do. Here’s what’s possible.”
“By signing this deal, we made a commitment to do something and to attempt something, to create something, to be successful at something. You know, this is not a time to celebrate. There is no time to do that. This is the time to get to work.
“What are we going to do with this opportunity? That’s what I’m worried about. There’s been a lot of, kind of in the previous AEW, in the past, you know, there’s been a lot of sitting around celebrating, just treating it like this stuff just happens. Like, oh, it’s just success, just, you know, happens, and this is the way it’s supposed to be, and it’s not gonna go anywhere. Like, this can all go away tomorrow.” Jon Moxley said.
