Jon Moxley has found big success since making the jump to AEW, but he also created quite the legacy for himself as a member of the WWE roster. Seth Rollins and Jon Moxley often went to war, or fought side by side in WWE, and back in 2014 they faced off in a Hell in a Cell match.
While talking about the match on Wrestling Observer Radio Moxley revealed that he pitched an idea that would have seen him rip the canvas off the ring and expose the boards underneath, but the pitch didn’t go over well.
“Something cool like tearing the canvas off and exposing the boards, something like that. I pitched that for a Hell In A Cell match and there was, like, Hunter, and Vince, and Seth. And I’m really into it, you know, I’m explaining it to him like, yeah I’m gonna take a box cutter and I’m gonna rip that canvas off and expose the wood. And they look at me like I’m f**king stupid, like they didn’t get it at all.”
“Vince is like, ‘I don’t think people are gonna understand it.’ They looked at me like I was an idiot. They’re like, Hunter’s rolling his eyes, Vince is confused.”
Jon Moxley will get his chance to become AEW World Champion once again when he challenges Kenny Omega in an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch at the Revolution pay-per-view on March 7. Stay tuned for updates as they become available.
