AEW Contacted Stevie Richards Over Jon Moxley Concussion Video

All Elite Wrestling recently reached out to Stevie Richards.

Richards has been breaking down various wrestling moves and incidents from across the wrestling world on his YouTube channel in recent months. One of the topics he covered was Jon Moxley's concussion at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam in September and the botched finish from referee Rick Knox. 

The video has since been removed from Richards' YouTube channel and the former ECW talent previously claimed that AEW blocked the video. 

Richards has now revealed on Cafe de Rene with Rene Dupree that he was contacted by agents within AEW about the video. 

"I'm not going to say who it is, but it was more than one and there's not a ton of them, so you can guess. What they said to me was, it was universally like, the conversation was two men, 'Hey, call me, I want to talk and clear the air about this.' I make the call, we talk, it was literally the first minute or two, pleasantries, and then, I know we have to talk this out and see. Tell me where I was wrong and where I was right. 'You were wrong in saying the blame is on the agents or producers. We try to tell these kids what to do and how to be safe, they don't listen, they can't be coached,' and then they went on for 10 to 20 minutes telling me how I had no idea how right I was with the video," Richards stated.

"They're collecting cheques, and who can blame them. For everybody out there, I don't want AEW to go out of business. I don't care about Tony Khan or his dad, they'll have money. I care about the people who have paid their dues and are producers. I care about the wrestlers and their safety, but I care about the people that I know that are producers and agents in the company. I want them to get paid for as long as possible."

Jon Moxley has since returned to the ring following his concussion and he will challenge Orange Cassidy for the International Championship at Full Gear on November 18. Moxley recently advocated for a new approach to concussions within pro wrestling.
