Legendary wrestler Matt Hardy sent a two-word message to Jon Moxley after the latter won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship on April 12. The former WWE and AEW World Champion won the coveted title by defeating Tetsuya Naito at the NJPW special event, Windy City Riot.
As a result, the former Shield member became the only wrestler to stake his claim to the WWE, AEW, and IWGP World Championships. The wrestling community has been posting congratulatory messages for Jon Moxley, and the latest to do so is former multi-time Tag Team Champion, Matt Hardy.
Hardy took to his X account on Saturday to send his heartfelt wishes for Moxley.
"Congrats Mox!" Hardy posted.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Moxley had a memorable stint in WWE, where he debuted as a member of The Shield, which comprised Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. The trio were the hottest names in the company and went on to have an impressive singles career. Fans think that the WWE underused The Lunatic Fringe, even though he did win some world championships in the Stamford-based promotion.
