Jon Moxley claims nobody can replace his legacy in professional wrestling

Former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley has turned himself into one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling after leaving the WWE in 2019. He is a former three-time AEW World Champion and is the current IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. Speaking in an interview with Sports Illustrated, Moxley reflected on his legacy in professional wrestling.

“I’m the only Jon Moxley there is. I don’t see another one walking in any f-----g time soon — When it’s all said and done, and I’ve been eaten by a cougar or something and people look back on everything, I like the idea that you won’t know where to classify me in history. You don’t know where to put me on your lists or your rankings or whatever the f--k. You have no idea where to classify me, but you can’t ignore me, so you’re going to have to give me my own space… I like that.” [H/T - Sports Illustrated]

The Purveyor of Violence is set to defend his IWGP World Title against Tetsuya Naito at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door PPV event. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top on June 30th.
