11/23/2024 04:49 PM
During a recent appearance on the “CHGO Sports” podcast, AEW President Tony Khan praised AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, calling him "AEW's greatest star ever."
Khan said, "Jon Moxley is AEW's greatest star ever. Jon Moxley's the four-time world champion. At the beginning of the launch of AEW, we ended our first-ever show with Jon Moxley standing atop the poker chips at Double or Nothing, and it's been that way since. He's a four-time champion, he's a force in AEW, and I really think that this match [against Orange Cassidy] is gonna be an awesome, awesome world title fight."
Jon Moxley will defend the AEW World Title against Orange Cassidy later tonight at AEW Full Gear 2024.
During the recent AEW Full Gear 2024 media call, AEW President Tony Khan previewed the highly anticipated title match.
You can check out some highlights from the media call below:
On Orange Cassidy's history with Jon Moxley: "It's great history with Orange Cassidy and Jon Moxley, and very fitting to come back to Full Gear. Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy are in very different places, and now, they're in this world championship fight. They're two of the greatest stars ever in AEW. When we launched the company, Jon Moxley stood atop AEW from the very beginning. Orange Cassidy is somebody who's had a much more methodical rise to prominence. I think Orange Cassidy does a lot of things methodically."
On what both competitors represent for AEW's history: "I think that they represent very different parts of the history of AEW, and they've intersected in some of these great matches, great moments … With Orange and Mox, there's always an opportunity for violence. I think that this match, in particular, embodies two different voices in AEW and two historical figures that have great significance in our five-year run that we've had here. I think it will be a great, great match, and I do think the company will be better off for it."
