Jon Moxley has been a worthy AEW World Champion, capturing the title from Chris Jericho in February, but his days may be numbered. Kenny Omega will take on Jon Moxley at Winter is Coming for the AEW World Championship, and it may be time for a big change at the top of the AEW roster.
In this article, we shall elaborate on why it may be the right time for a change of guard when it comes to the AEW World Championship. If you disagree and think that Jon Moxley should hold the AEW World Championship even after Winter is Coming, please feel free to chime in, in the comments.
#5 Jon Moxley has been AEW World Champion for a really long time now

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Jon Moxley has been the face of All Elite Wrestling since February and as good as his reign has been, there comes a point where too much of a good thing may not necessarily be good.
His reign has been fantastic and he has been made to look very strong indeed as the AEW World Champion as well, but the fact of the matter is that you watch any television show to see some kind of shake-up, to see who can potentially take the World Champion down. And so, it may finally be time for a change at the top of the roster.
While many may expect a title change to take place on pay-per-view, literally nobody would see it coming during a special episode of AEW Dynamite. And so, to end Jon Moxley's reign with a contest against Kenny Omega that the world gets to see on free television would just make AEW a hot talking point for that particular week.
Do you think Jon Moxley has been Champion for way too long?
#4 Jon Moxley can potentially feud with his mystery attacker and doesn't need the AEW World Championship for the same
So, a contract signing segment was scheduled to happen between Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega to make their match at 'Winter is Coming' official. And lo and behold, Jon Moxley, a man who never backs out of a challenge failed to show up for the same, leaving many guessing about where he was.
It turns out that Jon Moxley was laid out in the backstage area by a mystery attacker whose identity we do not yet know.
It would be far too obvious to reveal Kenny Omega as Jon Moxley's attacker, meaning that there is someone else in the AEW roster who attacked the World Champion.
Jon Moxley vs. this particular attacker could wage a war without the title on the line and it would still be an engrossing feud. Meanwhile, Kenny Omega could embrace a little more of the tweener side that he's teased recently, and mix it up with a whole new set of competitors.
#3 The Kenny Omega that we knew and loved in NJPW needs to return
The Kenny Omega we've seen thus far in AEW is certainly a fantastic competitor, and his tag team alliance with Hangman Page gave us some of the best matches of this calendar year. At the same time, the Kenny Omega that we used to know in NJPW was just a different level of superstar, quite honestly, and his matches with Kazuchika Okada pretty much revolutionized the pro wrestling business.
Now that Kenny Omega is officially out of the tag team division, that star may yet return and he can definitely shake things up at the very top of the AEW roster. It's not that Jon Moxley didn't have great matches in the main event spot, but with Kenny Omega involved, the bar will be significantly higher.
And if 'The Cleaner' does return to the form that fans expect of him, it can only take All Elite Wrestling to the next level and set them apart from just about any North American promotion.
#2 If Kenny Omega does not defeat Jon Moxley, who will?
Jon Moxley has pretty much run through the entire AEW roster and no one has been able to prevail against him yet. He's defeated everyone from Chris Jericho to Lance Archer, from Brian Cage to Eddie Kingston, and even MJF. Kenny Omega just seems like the most ideal person to take him down at this point in time.
The thing is that there aren't too many main-event level heels left in the AEW roster that can actually go up against someone like Jon Moxley and take him to the limit. You could name Miro, but he's not been presented as a top-tier star just yet. The same can be said about PAC, who's been presented strongly, but doesn't seem like AEW World Championship material yet.
Kenny Omega just seems like the most ideal candidate to defeat Jon Moxley and take the AEW World Championship from him, ending his historic reign with a spectacular match at 'Winter is Coming'. Can you think of anyone better suited than him right now?
#1 Jon Moxley is already an established name from his time in WWE
Even though you, dear reader, may know who Kenny Omega is from his time in Japan and having followed his career in AEW, there is a wide contingent of casual fans that may not be aware of just how good, and how supremely talented this man is. On the other hand, Jon Moxley was Dean Ambrose from his time in The Shield, and he is a household name that everyone knows.
For Kenny Omega to score a victory over Jon Moxley would just launch him into the same league as the former WWE star, and the audience that does not know about everything that he has achieved in the business may be made aware of just how prolific the man is.
Jon Moxley does not need the title to be the top star in AEW, but Kenny Omega certainly does.
Do you think it is time for 'The Cleaner' to pick up the biggest win of his entire pro wrestling career, to become the AEW World Champion?
