Jon Moxley Comments on Why His AEW World Title is Carried in Briefcase

A recent episode of the AEW Close Up with Renee Paquette show featured Jon Moxley as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Moxley’s thoughts about why he does not carry the AEW World Championship and instead is carried in a briefcase.

“Why do you need to see it? What do you need to see? You want to get a look at it and take a picture? This a petting zoo? Why do you need to see it? You don’t know anything about it. You don’t understand it at any level. You don’t understand what a world championship means, what it’s about, what it takes to be a champion, what it takes to climb a mountain. I am the AEW World Championship. I am the living definition of that championship. You want to see it, it’s right here [points to himself]. Take a look at it. This is the AEW World Championship. It lives here. It’s not something you win, it’s not something you hold, it’s not something you show off or hold over your head or pose a picture with. It lives in here [points to Claudio’s chest]. It has to be cultivated and grown, forged in the white hot fires of combat and struggle.
I’m trying to build a thousand Jon Moxleys and backfill them behind me, so I will put them through what I went through and worse. That might not be pretty. That might be ugly and uncomfortable, but that’s the only way I know how to do it. That’s the only way our generation knows how to do it. Struggle. You want to be the AEW World Champion? All you have to do is beat me. Pin me. It’s that easy. It takes three seconds. A very simple formula. How are any of you going to do that? Are you building an army right now? I am. Every single day. I’m building an army. More than what you see here. Much bigger than what you see here. Much more powerful than what you see here. You’re looking for answers? You don’t even know what questions to ask. You can’t see the board. You don’t even know what fucking game you’re playing.”
