AEW World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley was a guest on the PWI podcast this week to promote tomorrow's All Out PPV. He'll defend the title against MJF at the show, and it's a match all eyes are going to be on heading into the weekend. Among the topics covered during this interview was what Moxley had planned before the COVID-19 pandemic came along.
"At the beginning of 2020, I thought it was going to be the best year of my career," he admitted. "It was one thing after the other. I got to wrestle Minoru Suzuki who I thought I wouldn’t have a chance to wrestle. Then it was the Texas Death Match with Lance Archer at Wrestle Kingdom. Then we did the whole storyline with Jericho and I won the title."
"2020 was one good thing after another and it was going to be more and more. I was going to be the busiest wrestler in the world. I was going to go back and forth to Japan and do Dynamite every week. I was going to be doing a lot of different cool shows. I was going to go to Ireland and England. We were going to have an AEW U.K. tour," Moxley confirmed.
"I was going to be doing cool, bigger indie shows. I was going to be busy as hell. I was going to be doing everything on the menu. You only live once and I was going to strike while the iron was hot." I was going to be all over the place all year long and then it was shut down."
While Moxley had big plans for 2020 which would have seen him travel the globe and continue to make an impact in Japan, the key news here is that All Elite Wrestling was planning a UK tour. WWE does very well there twice a year, and tapings of Dynamite being held in the country would not have sat well with Vince McMahon and company.
Now, fans in the UK can only hope that happens...somewhere down the line!
