Jon Moxley has been one of the top stars in the professional wrestling business for some time now, and he currently stands at the top of the mount in All Elite Wrestling as the AEW World Champion.
Twitter has become a huge part of the modern wrestling world, but Moxley remains one of the few elusive stars who doesn’t use the social media service.
Cody Rhodes recently tweeted a photo of the TNT Championship and he called it “the most important belt of the last year” and “the belt in wrestling.”
AEW World Champion Jon Moxley addressed Cody’s comments during an interview with TV Insider and he made it clear that he doesn’t like to play Twitter games.
“That’s why I don’t do Twitter. Whatever, dude. I’ll classify that statement by him [Cody] as inaccurate. That’s why I don’t play Twitter games.”
Moxley won the AEW World Title back in February, shortly before the coronavirus pandemic impacted the wrestling industry, and he also shared his thoughts on what it means to be champion during a pandemic.
“The way I look at it is I’m carrying the torch during a weird pandemic era. Nobody is going to look back on this time decades from now saying, “Remember back in the day when Moxley was champion and it was like weird with no crowds and things were f—ing strange.” A time where we had to change the card due to someone coming in contact with someone with COVID.
We’re going to look back on this as a weird time, but to me it is what it is. As the good guy around here, I bring stability to an unstable world. People watch our show because they want to escape and have fun and not think about anything bad. They want us to tell stories and inspire. When you tune in to AEW, you know Jon Moxley is the f—ing world champion no matter what challenge is put in front of me. I have to keep my head held high and persevere.”
Moxley will defend his AEW World Championship against Eddie Kingston in an I Quit Match at the Full Gear PPV on Saturday. Stay tuned for updates from the pay-per-view as they become available.
