Jon Moxley took things a bit too far after he tried to poison a top star live on AEW TV. The fans were not pleased with the segment and they let their voices be heard.

Orange Cassidy fell victim to The Death Riders again. Cassidy has been feuding with Moxley and his crew for the past few weeks. He even tried to put a stop to Mox's plans for AEW's future by taking away the World Championship at Full Gear 2024. However, he failed in his quest. Following the match, the former WWE Superstar attacked a defenseless Cassidy.

This week on Dynamite, Orange Cassidy returned and attacked Moxley. As a result, The Death Riders retaliated by attacking him on Collision. The group held him down while The Purveyor of Violence was about to pour some detergent fluid down his throat again. Thankfully for him, FTR stopped them which caused the heel stable to retreat for the time being.

Konnan confesses he's no longer a fan of Jon Moxley

Jon Moxley's recent actions have been controversial, to say the least. He tried to choke out Bryan Danielson with a plastic bag and then tried to poison Orange Cassidy live on air. This has resulted in The Purveyor of Violence receiving some harsh criticism from fans and critics for the way he has been booked in recent weeks.

Speaking on his Keepin' It 100 podcast, Konnan admitted that he was once a fan of Jon Moxley after he watched one of his promos but he is no longer a fan of the AEW World Champion.

"I remember Norman Smiley who works at the like training guide in WWE and I remember him saying here there's this guy...what was his name before Moxley... Dean Ambrose. He goes there's this kid called Dean Ambrose you got to look out for him cause he's very different. He walks to the beat of his own drum and he's going to be a star one day and so I went and I looked for him and I saw this promo he did in the Indies and I was like, 'Wow! this guy is good'. So, I was a big Dean Ambrose Moxley fan too. I'm not a fan of what he's doing right now."
