I mean... is it? He was the same guy that was wrestling multiple times a day in multiple cities for WWE in 2016. They squandered him so hard, and now that there is an alternative like AEW, another stage for wrestlers to perform on, they are going to hold every single contract as long as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if they start tacking extra days onto every contract they have. Yeah it's crazy when you imagine where he was in WWE and mind you I'm factoring the idea that AEW didn't exist this time last year nor did we know he was thinking about leaving. After reports came out about WWE looking into those who's contracts are going to run out I wouldn't be surprised to see they increase the money even more.
What I REALLY wanna see are the reports this week about AEW backstage, the Moxley interview and most importantly the WWE backstage notes. Man, this is gonna be an amazing week.
I can only imagine what's going to come out of RAW tomorrow evening. |

Triple H is going to be even more pissed at Vince, and there will be more calls from the talent for Trips to take over. I'd love to see somebody like Braun in AEW (if the reports are any indication of what it's going to be like), and in New Japan. I think the dude would kill it in both, and they'd probably let him win some big matches. |

"There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen"
This is the only way to describe what the hell has been happening over the past few days. Moxley going to AEW was surprising and maybe even game changing but him going to NJPW at the same time and being put in a fairly serious program for the belt may be industry changing. Khan saying he wouldn't be full time in AEW means that he could actually be in G1!
That being said Moxley's "Rah Rah AEW" was kinda disappointing. There is enough of that with everyone else and I was kinda hoping Moxley would be more of a loner bad ass than another guy who wants to change the world via AEW.

Yeah, for all of WWE's attempts of holding everyone's contract hostage... this is probably the biggest get AEW could have had. and there was little the WWE could have done about it. The more I think about it, with Renee saying "he's off to greener pastures" on Raw, keeping him on TV, the sendoffs they gave him, and that they didn't add injury time to his contract, I wonder if he had Vince legit convinced he was getting away from the business. |

I think the dude would kill it in both, and they'd probably let him win some big matches. I feel we're going to be getting so many reports of Trips being pissed that eventually something major is going to happen. With AEW's rise and more people being pissed, they have to adapt and if they don't then hell, well see what happens.
Braun would be dope in AEW I think but it depends on how he is with those backstage reports. If he's got those taken care of then yeah he'd work out well. A guy like him needs to be elevated regardless. He's got a few years under his belt now, he's got the physique, he's ready. It's time to make him into the next Taker/Kane/Big Show in that big franchise who can go category.

With him coming over, he's pretty much throwing his lot in with AEW, and it gets the point across that they're home base for him, given he's also targeting Juice's NJPW US Championship, seemingly, for example. He did still make a point of attacking Jericho AND Omega, so he's definitely not anyone's buddy. |

Him and Switchblade are going to have a knife fight to the death. And Juice Robinson will be there too. Mantis: "Ooooo, yes, knives, let's do that!" |

Holy shit, I never expected Moxley to be the guy NJPW were hyping. The British flag was a red herring all along. Now that's a good f***ing swerve.

So NJPW’s YouTube confirmed it themselves.
Moxley’s coming June 5th, the Best of the Super Juniors finals.

I’m gonna doubt that Mox will do G1 if just because it’s a very long tour and could interfere with one of the pre-weekly TV AEW dates, but...holy SHIT I did not expect him to be the hourglass guy. Moxley vs Juice?!
If they do get Moxley for Dominion, along with Jericho, then NJPW World numbers are going to spike again. But if one or both of those guys show up in Dallas, that’d indicate that the two companies are at least casually working together, I think, not on the level of NJPW’s current partnerships but certainly on some level.

I hope that turncoat Jon Moxley doesn't get my boy/son/favorite wrestler Seth Rollins to join WWE LITE AKA AEW! Tyler Black and Joe Anoa’i jumping to AEW to raise hell with their former Shield buddy? Call it Moxley’s Crew. |

Yeah that what I was just about to post. There has to be some kind of budding relationship between New Japan and AEW, with both Jericho and Moxley confirmed to be working with them. And you have to imagine that Omega still has unfinished business there, in particular with a certain Golden Star. |

I was convinced Juice was facing David Finlay at Dominion, but this isn’t a bad choice either. Mox is going to be a huge contrast and that should make it an entertaining title defense.

NJPW: "AEW is a new organization to start from now, and we do not know what kind of relationship we would [have]."
Also NJPW:
You know guys, if I didn't know any better...I'd say they have a working relationship or something! BRING ON THE FANTASY BOOKING!

Just saw the debut. Holy shit! Easily the best debut I've seen in a while. This is the first time in forever I've been excited about wrestling.
Moxley looks re-energized and I can't wait to see what he does next.
