“This isn’t like a regular sport where I would say, ‘OK, my goal is to win the Olympic gold medal.’ Whereas with us, [titles] are storytelling devices. You can’t have goals like winning The Royal Rumble because you don’t decide that. Somebody with a pencil decides that,” explains Moxley.

It’s fair to conclude that the AEW Champion wants to meet the Shawn Michaels to his Bret Hart, the Roddy Piper to his Hulk Hogan, and much more. The question is, will AEW be able to give him that while he is still in his prime?
