Jon Moxley Quietly Battled Injuries Throughout AEW Run in 2025

Jon Moxley’s dominant run in 2025 might’ve looked effortless on screen, but behind the scenes, he was quietly battling through injuries all year long.

In a new interview with The Takedown, AEW president Tony Khan revealed that Moxley entered the year “pretty hurt,” but never once took time off—and somehow got healthier as the year went on.

“Jon was pretty hurt at the start of the year,” Khan said. “He was banged up, and he worked his way back in without ever taking time off. He’s been here all year, and he actually got healthier wrestling every week. The man’s a marvel.”

The AEW Continental Classic winner ended the year strong by defeating Kyle Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada at AEW Worlds End, essentially turning babyface after a long heel run. But Khan stated that Moxley’s in-ring consistency and toughness made the win even more meaningful.

“He put out his very best all year,” Khan said. “At the beginning of the year, he was pretty banged up and actually came back and got healthy through the year while he was still wrestling.”

Moxley wrestled 53 televised matches in 2025—17 more than he did in 2024—without a break. Khan compared him to old-school road warriors who worked hundreds of dates a year.

“He’s the last 200-match-a-year touring champion before he came to AEW,” Khan added. “In this era, where so much of the focus is on TV and not touring six, seven days a week anymore, that’s really something people don’t understand.”

Moxley’s 2025 now looks even more impressive in hindsight—not just for the championships and matches, but for the punishment he absorbed while never slowing down and fans feel he deserves all the respect in the world for it.
