In a recent episode of the “CHGO Sports” podcast, Tony Khan, the President of AEW, showered praise on Jon Moxley, the current AEW World Champion, uttering “Jon Moxley is arguably the biggest star to ever grace AEW.”
Khan enthusiastically stated, “Jon Moxley is without a doubt, the most remarkable talent in AEW. As a four-time world champion, he has proven his mettle since we launched AEW, marking the end of our inaugural show with his triumphant stance on top of the poker chips at Double or Nothing. Since then, he has continued his reign with unmatched tenacity. He relentlessly maintains his spot at the top, harnessing his formidable prowess. I am fully convinced that tonight’s world title fight against Orange Cassidy will be a match worthy of the history books.”
