Jon Moxley has a very interesting mission statement when it comes to the future of All Elite Wrestling.
AEW World Champion Jon Moxley recently spoke with Scott Fishman of TV Insider. When asked if he sees big things on the horizon for the company, Moxley said the potential is huge and they’re not even scratching the surface of it yet.
“The potential of AEW is so f*ckin’ huge. We’re not even scratching the surface of it,” Jon Moxley said. “Just the roster of wrestlers is this ridiculous bounty of riches. Just a ridiculously stacked roster of the best wrestlers in the world. So many people you haven’t even seen yet of what they can do. I’ve seen what they can do. I can imagine what they can become if we water that seed and let it grow.”
Jon Moxley believes if AEW isn’t a success it will set the wrestling industry back 20 years
When asked what he sees being next for AEW, Moxley said that the company has to be a success, or else the business gets set back another 20 years.
“There is no me being in there and losing. Everything is different now. It is life or death,” Jon Moxley said. “AEW has to be a success. If it’s not, the business gets set back another 20 f*ckin’ years. I’m not willing to go through that again. Others who I’ve known for 15-20 years are not willing to go through that again. It’s at the hands of our generation. This is what we wanted to do and all we’ve ever wanted to do. The future is in our hands. Whatever AEW will become in the future is up to us. Frankly, in five years nothing has been built.
“We’re going to build it right now. There has been no flag. AEW has not really nailed down its identity being a young company, and that’s fine. There has been a known flag for everyone to unify to say this is who we are what we do and the direction we’re going. We’re going to plant our flag. That’s starting with me and the few people watching my back and others. We’re going to demand more of everybody around us. We’re going to unify behind one flag and march forward and turn this into what it can be.
Moxley believes the future of AEW is on his shoulders
“This could be the best place I’ve ever worked. It could be 10 times better than anyone has ever worked. I can see how powerful wrestling can be. We want to build a place we can take pride in. I see all this beyond Saturday night in Newark. That could all go up in flames if I get taken out. If the AEW title gets put in the wrong hands. It’s my responsibility to make that impossible for that to accomplish.”
