Jon Moxley Helped Produce Big AEW Feud

Fans have seen some exciting AEW debuts over the last few years and a few months ago Saraya officially joined All Elite Wrestling. As she kicked off a feud with Britt Baker talk of her in-ring status started to heat up and ahead of Full Gear Saraya confirmed that she was cleared to compete. Saraya finally made her return to the ring at Full Gear and she managed to pick up a win over Baker.

Saraya recently discussed her feud with Britt Baker on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, and she noted that Jon Moxley played a big role in putting the segments together.

“I was thinking about that promo [announcing she was clear]…we changed it up last minute with the sitdown. Me, Britt, Renee, and Mox [Jon Moxley], because Mox has been a big producer on our segments. After the first promo, he was like, ‘I’m going to f**king make sure that we make this as best as possible. I want to help you.’ We changed the sitdown because they only gave us two minutes. We’re not going to be able to tell a story in two minutes, especially backstage and without a crowd, you can’t feel the energy. That promo, we were supposed to do in two minutes in a backstage. We’re just like, ‘We’re going to change this.’”

“We didn’t ask Tony about it, we just did it. Britt had to go do something anyway at like five and she was like, ‘I’ll be right back.’ We just went, ‘We’re going to change it and say she didn’t turn up. It fits in with her thinking that I’m coming in, Renee is my friend,’ we could piece it together so much easier in two minutes. We did that, it went way better, then we told Tony, ‘is it okay if we get this promo next week?’ Luckily, he was so great with it, even though we’re changing his show on the day. ‘Great, we’ll get Britt backstage explaining why she didn’t turn up, next week we can give you six minutes,’ we went over, ‘we’ll give you six minutes.’ It felt right. I’m sorry we went over, but the emotion in the crowd felt good.”

It was announced back in October that Jon Moxley signed a new deal with AEW that will keep him with the company through 2027. The announcement also revealed that Moxley would be stepping into the roles of a coach and mentor.
