Following the filming of Friday’s episode of Rampage on Wednesday night in his native Ohio, new AEW Undisputed World Champion Jon Moxley spoke to the crowd.
Bryan Danielson and Moxley entered the ring. Moxley made a promo claiming that he and Danielson were the two greatest wrestlers in the entire world. None of his memories from Cleveland, he said, could compare to the night he defeated CM Punk to unify the titles.
Moxley encouraged fans to tell their friends to check out AEW if they were watching “that Monday and Friday night crap,” referring to WWE RAW and SmackDown, and promised that the AEW locker room was determined to work hard to present the best product in the world.
While praising ROH World Champion Claudio Castagnoli for “ignoring some old crazy man’s” opinions, Moxley took a shot at former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
This was in reference to Vince McMahon’s comments about Castagnoli in 2014 during an appearance on Steve Austin’s podcast. During that interview, the former WWE Chairman stated that Cesaro had failed to grab the proverbial brass ring and struggled to connect with the fans like top stars are supposed to do.
Before extending his gratitude to everyone for their support, Moxley offered his praises to Wheeler Yuta, Dustin Rhodes, and Arn Anderson.
