#2 Moxley will become a megastar in AEW

If last night's appearance didn't make it clear, perhaps this promo should do it!

Jon Moxley is set for a major push in AEW. He came out last night, and the crowd erupted in unison. There couldn't have been a better ending to the show than capping it off with a wide grin on Moxley's face, as he stood tall over Kenny Omega. Then there's this excellent backstage promo, which showed what Moxley can do if he is given free rein. It showed what he is capable of if he is let loose by the higher-ups of the promotion.

Moxley's promo is an indication that AEW has high hopes from him, and they trust him to become a major player in the coming days. In addition to having entertaining brawls, he is capable of holding his own in the talking department. Fans can expect him to turn into possibly the biggest Superstar on the AEW roster in the coming months.

Years from now, Moxley will possibly look back at this moment, and pat himself on the back for having the courage to leave a big paycheck and go somewhere he's genuinely happy.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
