Jon Moxley made his debut at AEW Double Or Nothing 2019 and instantly became a big deal there. He has truly been one of the most consistent and dependable stars in the company as well.
Moxley lost the AEW World Title to CM Punk at AEW All Out and was scheduled to take time off following the event. However, that all changed after CM Punk suffered an injury and had to relinquish the title.
Moxley then revealed that he was supposed to take time off from AEW television. While speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Jon Moxley stated that taking time off had to do with the story they were telling.
“I was going to be gone and off TV for six weeks. It wasn’t that I needed a vacation. I was feeling good and feeling hot, but it had to do with what we were going to do for a story.
Going into All Out, I was thinking, ‘After I get through this match, that’s it for a while.’ I wrestled the match, and we kicked each other’s ass. I was happy, Chicago was happy, everybody was happy. I went outside to smoke a cigarette with Eddie [Kingston] in celebration. That vacation lasted about 30 minutes.
By the time I went to bed that night, I was pretty sure we were going to pretend that vacation was never going to happen. But it’s all good; you just roll with the punches.”
After three years, Moxley thought he would take part in the independent scene, but he ultimately came to genuinely appreciate AEW. We will have to wait and see how he will be booked in the coming weeks.
