Jon Moxley is the current AEW World Champion, but fans certainly haven’t forgotten about everything he accomplished during his run with WWE.
Moxley also won the top prize in WWE, and throughout his time as a member of the roster he got to work with some big names and interact with legends such as Roddy Piper.
The AEW star recently spoke to SEScoops.com about Roddy Piper and he noted that he had a pretty good relationship with the Rowdy One. According to Moxley, one time he was soaking up the adulation of the crowd, and Piper told him to stay focused on his opponent.
“He came to the back and found me, he’s like ‘you went too much babyface’ or something. I can’t remember exactly [what he said] but he’s like ‘don’t even worry about them’ [the fans]. He’s like ‘you look at the guy’s shoes.’ Basically saying you stay focused on your opponent. You’re there to hurt him, kind of thing.”

Since making the jump to AEW Jon Moxley has been showing a more aggressive side of his character, so it looks like he may be taking Piper’s advice to heart.
