AEW Undisputed World Champion Jon Moxley has commented on squashing CM Punk on Wednesday’s Dynamite.
On the August 24 episode of AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley shocked the world by defeating CM Punk in under three minutes to become the Undisputed AEW World Champion.
Speaking to Tony Pike and Rick Ucchino on Cincy 360, Moxley commented on winning the gold in dominating fashion.
He said:
“I don’t get paid by the hour. Belts come and go, I’ll lose this one at some point, somebody will beat me, I’ll get back on the horse and get another one. I’m not gonna quit for seven years or feel sorry for myself. That’s not how these things go. The win last night felt good, all this stuff is what you make it.
“If they say ‘you’re interim champion, no matter how hard you work, you’re not the real champion.’ It felt obvious it would be leading to a confrontation with me and CM Punk. It was an inevitable collision that happened last night. I knew the minute I walked into Forbidden Door, I was going to work with him at some point.
“If you get mad about that [being Interim Champion] and bring negativity, your performance gets affected. If you use that as fuel and ‘you want to call me an interim champion, take it and shove it up your ass. Having that chip on my shoulder and using it as fuel, that’s what I’ve been doing the last several months coming to the ring and defending the belt.
“I showed what that mentality and energy can do when I showed up last night and beat the brakes off that bastard.”
Jon Moxley defeated Hiroshi Tanahashi to win the AEW Interim World Championship at Forbidden Door on June 26 after CM Punk stepped away due to a foot injury.
