Gabe Kidd just made it crystal clear—he’s not here to make friends in AEW, and he has zero respect for anyone who stands behind the promotion.

In a fiery interview with Denise Salcedo published on May 20, 2025, Kidd unloaded when asked about potential opponents for the upcoming Anarchy in the Arena match at Double or Nothing, throwing verbal punches at names like Swerve Strickland and Kenny Omega.

“F** every single one of them. F*** every single one of them. You know, they want to rep AEW and try and protect AEW? F*** them. Every single one of them,”* Kidd snapped. “I’ll punch your jaw side, break your jaw, you know, for trying to even idealize that. Like, it’s crazy. F** ’em.”*

Kidd isn’t pulling punches—literally or verbally. The rising star made his surprise AEW appearance during the Dynamite: Beach Break main event, aiding Jon Moxley in his steel cage match against Samoa Joe for the AEW World Title. After Moxley secured the win, chaos erupted as Gabe Kidd aligned himself with Moxley, leading to a massive brawl that ended with Swerve Strickland issuing the Anarchy in the Arena challenge.

But Kidd made one thing absolutely clear during the interview: he’s not here for AEW, and he’s not part of the locker room culture.

“I’m not doing anything with AEW. I’m not collaborating. I’m not working with AEW. I’m working with Jon Moxley. That’s it. Clear and straight. I’m working with Jon Moxley.”

With a message that’s bound to shake the foundation of AEW’s roster, Kidd is stepping into the fire without fear—and without loyalty to the promotion he just invaded.
