"Mox did it for the Shield," "Jon saw his brothers slacking" - Fans rejoice as the AEW star makes history

Jon Moxley recently made history, and AEW fans can't help but rejoice at the feat of the former world champion.

The Purveyor of Violence had a match against Tetsuya Naito at NJPW's Windy City Riot, which took place at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois, on April 12. He defeated his opponent to win the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.

With his incredible win at the NJPW event, Moxley became the first wrestler to win the world titles in WWE, AEW, and NJPW. His title win came just a few days after his former Shield partner, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, lost their respective titles at WrestleMania XL.

The wrestling universe reacted to his championship win on X/Twitter. The fans were delighted to see the former WWE superstar become the new IWGP World Champion.
