In a recent interview with Justin Barrasso for his Undisputed column, AEW star Jon Moxley gave a stark and poignant insight into his life’s philosophy, reaffirming that professional wrestling is not just a job but the very core of his existence. The comments come just days after Moxley lost his AEW World Championship to “Hangman” Adam Page in a brutal Texas Death Match at the All In Texas premium live event.
Jon Moxley on Wrestling as His Life’s Purpose
Known for his intense and authentic persona, Moxley explained that he sees no endpoint to his time in the wrestling business, viewing it as an inseparable part of his identity that will remain with him for his entire life. His words paint a picture of a man completely and utterly dedicated to his craft, embodying the grit and passion that has made him a fan favorite and one of AEW’s foundational stars.
“When I’m no longer with us on earth–I don’t see an end to this,” Moxley said. “This is what I do. This is my life. The people within it. Anything else I do or I’m involved in, my interests are intertwined or near this.”
This philosophy has been evident throughout his career, particularly in his willingness to engage in some of the most violent and physically demanding matches in modern wrestling.
A Look Back at a Brutal Texas Death Match
Moxley’s comments are especially powerful in the context of his recent match at All In Texas. He walked into the event as the reigning AEW World Champion and defended his title against his long-time rival, “Hangman” Adam Page, in a Texas Death Match. The bout was a bloody and violent war, with both men using weapons and sacrificing their bodies in a dramatic conclusion to their epic feud. Ultimately, Page was able to overcome Moxley to capture the AEW World Championship, ending a dominant and hard-fought reign for the leader of the Blackpool Combat Club.
The Aftermath of AEW All In Texas
Losing the championship in such a grueling fashion would be a devastating setback for any competitor, but Moxley’s interview suggests that for him, it is just another chapter in a never-ending story. His entire tenure in AEW has been defined by his role as the company’s workhorse, a wrestler who thrives on the fight itself, whether he holds a championship or not. As a multi-time former world champion, he has already cemented his legacy, but his words indicate that his focus is not on past accomplishments but on the life he continues to live within the wrestling world.
Moxley’s poignant words about his dedication to the sport come just days after his brutal title loss. On tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite, which is the first show since “All In Texas,” a visibly battered but defiant Jon Moxley is scheduled to address the AEW fans for the first time since losing the championship. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see what the next chapter holds for the man who sees no end to his life in the ring.
