During a recent interview with The Sun, All Elite Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion Jon Moxley shared his thoughts on the rivalry between Dynamite and NXT, once again emphasising that all he really wants is for wrestling to be good. The two shows go to war each Wednesday, though it's AEW that often comes out on top!
"All my friends there (WWE) I wanna turn the TV on and I wanna see them kicking ass and doing great," he explained. "We want to keep growing this thing. I don’t stress about it but it’s always good news when we get more people than last week. I don’t decide what time or what night or what channel we’re on so for me, my job is to make sure that the people that are watching have the best experience possible. I don’t really stress about the people that are not watching or the channels turned to something else – f***ing Food Network or f***ing MTV, NXT or whatever."
That's a valid point, and Moxley continued by pointing out that AEW's hope is to keep gaining new fans each week, recalling what it was like for him as a kid when he watched everything wrestling related.
Now, he thinks kids are doing the same thing he did, watching both AEW and NXT just he once watched both RAW and Nitro. "So what’s happening is Wednesday nights are replacing Monday night," Moxley added. "Wednesday is wrestling night for people now."
It's great to hear a positive spin on this, and easy to see where Moxley is coming from. What do you guys think?
