Jon Moxley has spoken out about the ‘poor me attitude’ of some in the AEW locker room, making it clear that AEW isn’t meant to be easy.
Jon Moxley picked up his first loss in the AEW Continental Classic tournament on this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite (December 20) when he lost to Jay White.
Not only did the loss mark Mox’s first in the tournament, it also granted White the three points he needed to join the Gold league final, making it a three-way match.
In a post-match promo, Moxley spoke about the match and his goal for wrapping up the block.
Moxley said:
“Well, that is how you finish a block. If not with victory, with maximum effort. Am I pissed off? Oh yeah. I wanted that 5-0 real bad. But hey, you can’t lose what you never had in the first place, so why worry about it?
“Last week, I told Swerve Strickland if he was ever going to be great, at some point he was going to have to learn how to lose — what better time to prove a point than right now when I’m knocked down and have dirt in my eye and blood in my mouth and with one leg.
“I may be the victim of some unfortunate circumstances, Bryan’s eye is falling out of his head. Next week I’ve got to face two guys, two of the hottest wrestlers in the world. I’ve got two snipers coming after my head in a triple threat match, and I hate three ways man.
“Right about now is when most people start making excuses, they start coming to terms with defeat. I don’t get paid to make excuses.
“Next week I will show the world something really special. Jay White, Swerve Strickland are going to have a front row seat.
“I’m going to show everyone in AEW, every wrestler all around the world, anybody from any walk of life that if you’ve got a job to do, the world doesn’t care if you’re sick, if you’re tired, or if you’re hurt.
“These AEW fans, they come to shows and they buy tickets and they pay for parking and they bring their kids and they take a night off work that they can’t afford, they don’t want your excuses man.
“They deserve 100% of your effort. Next week, I’m gonna show the world how to suck it up and get the job done. Next week, I’m gonna get this job done and win this block.”
Moxley would go on to have a message for some in the AEW locker room, noting:
“Nothing pisses me off more than these punk ass dudes coming into AEW thinking it’s supposed to be easy with their poor me attitude when things don’t go their way.
“Man, this is pro wrestling, this is the greatest sport in the world and this is All Elite Wrestling. This ain’t supposed to be easy.”
Jon Moxley will face both Jay White and Swerve Strickland in the upcoming Gold league final of the AEW Continental Classic tournament.
The Blue league will continue to Saturday’s AEW Collision leading up to the Continental Classic tournament winner being crowned at AEW Worlds End on pay-per-view on December 30.
