I stand at the top of a mountain tonight that nobody’s ever stood atop before,” You know what though? I don’t really give a f**k about belts, what three letters or four letters or five letters are on the name of the marquee, or the title, or the T-shirt, or the pay-per-view, or the letters on the belt. I don’t care.”“I go where I want. I do whatever the f**k I want, whenever the f*** I want. Nobody can stop me.”
It was also reported that Jon Moxley was granted time off from AEW in order for him to win the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. It remains to be seen how he will be booked as the champion in the coming weeks.
