Jon Moxley Shares His Thoughts On WWE Hiring Paul Heyman & Eric Bischoff, Believes AEW Vs. WWE "Is Not The Monday Night Wars"
IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion will take on Kenny Omega at All Out next month...
All Elite Wrestling's Fight For The Fallen - the show that will see its proceeds donated to the victims of the 2018 Jacksonville Landing shooting, as well as other victims of gun violence - takes place this Saturday night.
While Jon Moxley isn't booked to have a match at the time of writing, the current IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion must be looking for a modicum of revenge after Kenny Omega attacked him at the end of Fyter Fest nine days ago.
Mox has once again been speaking about WWE to the Store Horsemen. This time, Jon has had his say on WWE's decision to appoint Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff as Executive Directors of Raw and SmackDown Live respectively: "Paul Heyman is really smart it sounds like that is a great idea. I just hope Vince lets them do their ideas. It's not just 'I made him head of creative, but I'm telling him what to do type of thing.'
"Eric Bischoff was behind the NWO, he also presided over some crappy WCW shows. He is probably pretty motivated to make you forget that part of the resume. The more wrestling that is good, the more fans that there are and the better it is for everybody."
Mox also mentioned that he doesn't believe we're about to see another ratings war between WWE and AEW once the All Elite crew goes to weekly TV in October: "This is not the Monday Night Wars.
"Now, we are over here doing this, they are always going to be there, it would be a fool's errand to try and take them down, it wouldn't be good for the wrestling business to try and take them down. We are providing a good alternative, showing that there is a world outside of that.
"I can't wait, it's super exciting, it's going to be challenging, we have no idea what is going to happen, but we are making history. First time in a long time, TNA was prime time for a little bit but this is a first since basically WCW."
