"Imagine Roman Reigns losing to some garbage guy on the indies" - Twitterverse goes nuts after Jon Moxley surprisingly loses his world championship outside AEW

Jon Moxley might be the AEW World Champion, but the star shockingly lost the GCW World Championship after holding the belt for 399 days. Fans naturally took to Twitter, with many slamming the loss and comparing Moxley to Roman Reigns.While a few fans might not have known about Moxley's reign as the GCW World Champion, the star was in fact the face of two promotions. Viewers not familiar with GCW might be even more confused, as it's considered an &quot;indie promotion&quot; and is known for its deathmatches, blood, and gore.This past weekend, GCW held their Fight Club Night 1 event, where death-match legend Nick Gage challenged Jon Moxley for the World Championship. Notably, Moxley didn't lose the bout clean, as MJF's The Firm stable cost the Purveyor of Violence his championship.Despite losing the belt due to interference, fans were still not happy with the fact that the face of AEW suffered a major defeat. A few also noted that Roman Reigns would not have lost in the same situation and more so had never been allowed to wrestle on the Indies.Check out the reaction from the &quot;Twitterverse&quot; below:PMIZ19@MizerakPeter@JobberNationTV Thats is Tony Khan for you.....Never looks at the bigger picture and what did Khan get out of that ? Gage vs Jericho where they pissed off a sponsor ?2@JobberNationTV Thats is Tony Khan for you.....Never looks at the bigger picture and what did Khan get out of that ?

It’s like he went from being in a rock band that played stadiums and arenas to go back to playing small amphitheaters and gymnasiums. AEW is pretty much an indie clown show on a major cable network.10@JobberNationTV Jon Moxley is a garbage wrestler now.

The trends are going in the right direction for WWE. They are entertaining while creating options at the same time. A lot of clever little details they are sneaking into flow of the show are paying off.91@JobberNationTV Credibility matters. The trends are going in the right direction for WWE.

Catch up on the show's results here.Jon Moxley recently signed a five-year extension on his AEW contractWhile fans might not be too impressed with Moxley and his booking, Tony Khan has thrown in even more chips behind the Purveyor of Violence. Moxley has also notably increased his standing in the AEW locker room, which was probably a defining factor in his contract extension.According to a press release, Jon Moxley has extended his AEW contract by five years and will also mentor and coach his fellow talent:&quot;Jon Moxley is on the best run of his already legendary career, and this five-year extension ensures that he was not only here for AEW's meteoric rise, but also remains a key part of the sustained success we're witnessing, just days after three-year anniversary show for Dynamite,&quot; Tony Khan said.With the full support of Tony Khan at his back, Moxley's loss was likely to ensure the star parted ways with GCW for now, as was recently reported. Time will tell, but could the AEW World Champion have a bright future ahead of himself under Khan's leadership?
