Jon Moxley has everyone talking after making his comeback to AEW Dynamite this week after being absent since Forbidden Door, when he cut a promo in the ring alongside Tony Schiavone.
The former AEW World Heavyweight champion requested a conversation with Darby Allin before turning to Schiavone and delivering a cryptic message that appears to be addressed at AEW President Tony Khan.
Moxley replied, “I’m gonna tell you something. I want you to listen to me. It’s gonna take some time for everybody to wrap their brains around this, but we’re gonna start right now, okay? Listen to me. This is not your company anymore.” Moxley walked out of the ring with fans speculating that he could be referring to Shane McMahon, who met with Khan several weeks ago at an airport near Dallas.
Later in the show, Moxley was seen with Marina Shafir. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Live, Bryan Alvarez reported the gimmick that Moxley is now portraying is inspired by “Romper Stomper.”
Alvarez said, “I actually know the movie he watched…..Romper Stomper, Australian cult classic, 1992. He was playing Russell Crowe in what he was doing. I’m not making this up. That’s a scoop for ya.”
This 1992 cult classic film follows the downfall of a neo-Nazi group in Melbourne, Australia, and stars Russell Crowe as Hando, the group’s leader. This was his most successful film in Hollywood.
In the trailer, Hando says to someone, “I’m gonna tell you something. I want you to listen to me, okay? This is not your country.”
