In an interview with Superstar Crossover (via Fightful, Darby Allin explained why he thinks Jon Moxley might be the most underrated performer in AEW. Moxley defeated Allin on Wednesday’s Dynamite, earning himself a shot at the AEW World title at WrestleDream.
allin said: “It sounds kind of strange to say this, but I think it’s Jon Moxley. When he first came to the company, he was the guy. I remember being like, ‘This is game-changing,’ for him to show up at Double or Nothing. I felt like he was just another guy for a while. He was thrown into random matches for the sake of it. If you give Jon the ball, there is no better performer than him. I felt like his run last year, he became IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, but in the world of AEW, I felt like he was just in random tag matches. I felt something when he came out at Double or Nothing. I felt the energy of the room change. Now, I feel he’s put himself right back in the fold by killing people with plastic bags.“
