Jon Moxley is the AEW World Champion. But instead of carrying a title belt around his waist, he is often seen with a briefcase. Fans are curious to know what's inside the case, and Tony Khan recently opened up on the subject.
This week on AEW Dynamite: Maximum Carnage, The One True King, accompanied by Marina Shafir, locked horns with Powerhouse Hobbs in a singles match for the AEW World Championship. Moxley retained his gold with outside help from The Death Riders.
Ahead of this week's Dynamite, Tony Khan sat down for a virtual interview on the Battleground Podcast. During the chat, the AEW President was asked to comment on Moxley's mysterious briefcase. Khan speculated that Moxley had the World Championship inside the case.
"Well, I think we all presume the championship belt is in there, and it's something we all want to see, is the AEW World Championship," Khan said. "It's a beautiful, beautiful belt. I think it's the most beautiful belt in pro wrestling. And Jon Moxley keeps it hidden away."

The AEW President also exposed Jon Moxley and The Death Riders for their hypocrisy.
"He says it's a symbol of vanity, the championship belt. But I think Jon Moxley is trying to control the championship. [He's] trying to control things in AEW. It shows that that's hypocrisy from The Death Riders and I'm very, very excited about tonight's show including that AEW World Championship match, Mox vs. Hobbs tonight." [From 10:25 to 11:04]
Besides his his differences with Hobbs, the Moxley-led group is feuding with Cope and FTR.
