Jon Moxley Reveals Unusual Career Goals in AEW

AEW has really hit gold with Jon Moxley throughout the year. The most dominant Superstar in the company right now has proved that there was so much more to him than just being the lunatic.

Despite being a decorated athlete, Moxley has a very different approach to the goals he has from his career. He stands apart from the regular wrestlers who make it their dream to win titles and compete at major events. In a recent interview with Bleacher Report, the AEW World Champion revealed these goals.

“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.

“For me, it’s about telling the best stories that I can because it’s the most satisfying feeling in the world when you nail a promo. AEW is the perfect place for me because I get to do what I want to do.”

Moxley has an elitist mentality. From his many years of professional wrestling experience, Moxley has understood an integral part of being in the business.

Jon Moxley wants to be remembered by the stories he tells

People remember the fight, not the title. The story that is told and shown, the emotion that is depicted is what truly matters in a match, not the title that is won at the end.

This is the very same reason people regard Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat as the greatest wrestling match of all time. The two fought in such a well-orchestrated storyline match that made WrestleMania III memorable.

The insane fight between Bret and Owen Hart in 1994 also tells a storyline worth watching. Moxley aims at this level, which makes fans remember you. He wants the name “Jon Moxley” to stand the test of time.

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?
