AEW World Champion Jon Moxley discusses the state of AEW and says he doesn’t know if there’s ever been a roster with so many great in-ring wrestlers.
Moxley has largely been the face of AEW since he joined the company in 2019. He has held the AEW World Championship since AEW WrestleDream, and he and his Death Riders stable have been leading the company into a new era.
Speaking with Anthony Sulla-Heffinger for Uncrowned, Jon Moxley commented on AEW’s roster.
“Any time you step into the ring, any time you get the camera pointed at you with the light on, any time you do anything, it’s going to be whatever you make it,” Moxley says. “Everybody’s a good wrestler at AEW. I don’t know if there’s ever been a roster assembled of this many purely great, get-in-the-ring-and-wrestle pro wrestlers. There’s so much more to it though, to put yourself in a position to use those skills and capitalize with them. You can see some guys evolving to the next level beyond just being good wrestlers. It’s very gratifying to see.”
Jon Moxley On Orange Cassidy
Moxley then highlighted Orange Cassidy as an example of a talent who has evolved. He emphasized that AEW had to foster and cultivate this kind of growth.
“That thing with Orange [Cassidy], he’s one of those guys where you see him growing and evolving. You see this larger-than-life aspect coming out of him, you see it right before your eyes. You don’t even have to look at him, you can see it in the audience when he comes out, you see it happening. That kind of thing that’s hard to put into words, but you know he’s ‘got it’ — that’s the thing we have to foster and cultivate. We can’t just throw him out there. It’s a seed that has to be watered and grown.”
