Jon Moxley Gives His Thoughts On WrestleMania 36

AEW World Champion and former WWE World Champion Jon Moxley has given his thoughts on last month’s WrestleMania 36 event.

Speaking with Fightful, Moxley revealed that he did indeed watch both nights of WrestleMania, and enjoyed what he saw.

He said:

“I watched the whole thing. Both nights. I enjoyed it. I thought it flowed nicely and a lot of people really worked their ass off and put on great performances. I enjoyed the Boneyard Match, I thought that was cool. I thought that was really cool, too, because the Undertaker is a really beloved character. He’s like a comic book character. He’s a beloved character from our childhood. Same as John Wayne or John McClane or any action movie star you can think of, so it was really cool. I think everybody really enjoyed that.”

In the same interview, he discussed what it’s like being World Champion in this current worldwide climate with no audiences attending shows, saying:

“It’s not ideal. I won the World title on a Saturday, that Wednesday, a few days later, was my last time in front of an audience. So, that’s not ideal timing to say the least. It’s not for everybody. Yeah. Because it’s a dark time in the world. So, it’s a little weird. But, I have a task of carrying the torch through a really, really dark time. I’m not gonna complain about it.”

Moxley also spoke about the wider effect the pandemic has had on wrestling as a whole, including Bloodsport being cancelled. He added:

“That’s just one of many matches and many events like [AEW] Blood & Guts, 14,000 tickets in Newark down the drain; Philly, Boston, all down the drain. All these promotions, all these [independents]—it especially sucks for the independent guys just aren’t working right now. That sucks. I mean, WrestleMania had to take place in front of nobody and that’s not ideal for all those guys and girls who wanted to have their big WrestleMania moment, they had to do it in front of nobody. So, everybody got affected by this. Pro wrestling is such a small part of the world even though it dominates my life, there much more important things. People are suffering through way worse financial times and stuff. It sucks for everybody.”

Jon Moxley is scheduled to defend the AEW World Championship against Brodie Lee at Double Or Nothing on May 23.
