Jon Moxley is the current AEW World Champion, but he spent many years dominating the landscape in WWE as a member of The Shield.
Moxley’s former Shield brother Roman Reigns returned to WWE a few weeks ago, and he shocked a lot of people when he aligned himself with Paul Heyman.
Everyone seems to have an opinion on the Reigns/Heyman alliance, and during a recent interview with The Sun Jon Moxley noted that he thinks it’s “very cool.”
“The concept of him and Paul Heyman – that was very cool to me. I think that’s gonna work out really good. All my friends there (WWE) I wanna turn the TV on and I wanna see them kicking ass and doing great.”
AEW Dynamite has been going head to head with NXT on Wednesday nights for almost a year now, and Moxley noted that he thinks Wednesday night is replacing Monday as the new wrestling night.
“We wanna keep bringing in new fans – Wednesday nights is becoming wrestling night. When I was a kid I watched everything so all the kids out there who are like me are probably flicking back and forth between NXT and AEW which is great because when I was a kid I was flicking back and forth between Nitro and RAW. So what’s happening is Wednesday nights are replacing Monday night. Wednesday is wrestling night for people now.”
