Jon Moxley was scared and not selling after dangerous moment on live AEW TV, claims wrestling expert

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley has been the talk of the town since his brutal street fight on Dynamite. Wrestling veteran Vince Russo claims Moxley did not sell the spot as he was scared for his health.

During the recent edition of AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley successfully defended his title against The Rated-R Superstar Cope. However, the spot that had everybody talking was Moxley getting slammed on a spiked weapon by his opponent. Despite that, The Purveyor of Violence managed to finish the bout and retain his World Title.

Speaking on The Coach & Bro Show, former WWE Head Writer Vince Russo claimed Jon Moxley was not selling after the spike stuck on his back. He said Moxley was scared for his health and livelihood and was seemingly reconsidering the bump.

"We've all seen thousands of wrestling matches. Guys you have to understand, [Jon] Moxley was not selling. Two things was going on. The dude was in absolute pain and he was scared. Can you imagine bro when you can not get that out of your back? He's got a wife, I think he's got a kid. You could see the look on his face, 'Now I'm scared.' Coach if you're putting yourself in a position where you're doing something and now you're scared for your health and your livelihood, something is definitely wrong coach." [From 10:34 to 11:27]
