He claims that Blackpool Combat Club outperforms everyone else in AEW, and that when the bell rings, they don’t care about anyone’s safety. He slammed Hangman for not being able to get cleared because he’s injured, but Moxley has been injured for more than a decade and continues to fight. Moxley challenged Page to a fight on January 11 at the Dynamite in Los Angeles, if he can get cleared.
