• Tony Khan Says Recent Jon Moxley Spot Helped AEW In Creating New Fans
During a recent Street Fight between Jon Moxley and Cope for the AEW World Championship on Dynamite, Moxley took a hardcore bump on a spike bat.
During an interview on the “Way of the Blade” podcast, AEW President Tony Khan defended this spot and said this moment helped in creating new fans:
“When Mox had the spike bat in his back, that was a great wrestling moment. It was memorable, it helped drive box office for us, it was highest rated episode of the year.
It went viral. It’s one of the most watched videos of the year. It’s probably the most watched video of the year in AEW.
It’s a fantastic moment. It made new fans and created interest. It was on TMZ. There are people who weren’t watching AEW that saw it. It brought outside fans in and created casual interest.”
