WWE Star Responds To AEW Jon Moxley Spikes Incident

WWE/AEW

WWE Hall of Famer and NXT commentator Booker T has responded to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley’s spikes incident.

On the March 19 edition of AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley defeated Cope (fka Edge in WWE) in a Street Fight to retain the AEW World Championship.

During the course of the bout, Cope suplexed Moxley on top of SPIKE, his bat covered in nails. The spot saw Moxley have the nails from the bat stuck in his back.

This incident caused a lot of discourse with many fans expressing polarizing thoughts in regards to the nature of the spot.

On the latest edition of his Hall of Fame podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T commented on the Jon Moxley SPIKE spot. He said:

“It’s not my cup of tea, I’ll tell you that right now. I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite that gory inside of a match. I mean, come on, what are you gonna do next, shoot yourself? Bring a gun in and just shoot me?

“When you’re working with something like that and you have vital organs – because it looked like it hurt, alright? It looked like it was something that was very, very painful.

“And my thing is this. I don’t care what these guys do. I don’t want to say anything negative to AEW or anything like that because I know I’m gonna get all kinds of crazy heat for doing that, but I do wanna caution these young guys that are going out there doing this kind of stuff.

“Maybe they’re not thinking about what they’re gonna do after this wrestling thing is all over with, maybe they’re not thinking about their bodies and how they’re gonna feel when they do get a little bit older and carrying these scars for the rest of their lives, and one day they’re gonna wake up one day, ‘What the hell was I thinking, doing something like that?’

“I questioned Darby Allin the first time I met him. He did the Coffin Drop. And I was like, ‘Kid, what are you thinking?’ So I’m cautious when anybody does this kind of stuff because I know how I feel at 60.

“Me personally, I’m gonna tell you right now, I feel pretty damn good in comparison to what these guys are gonna be going through when they hit that age.

“I seriously caution going out and doing something like that. It looked like he would have had to go the hospital to get himself checked out after something like that.”
