We’re just a few days away from one of the biggest matches from AEW this year. MJF will be facing Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship in the main event of AEW Full Gear – a rematch two years in the making. Many are tuning into the PPV for this match alone – and it’s been generating excitement in the AEW locker room as well.
Dustin Rhodes Feels Jon Moxley Will Walk Away Still AEW World Champion
During an appearance on the “Sports Guys Talk Wrestling” podcast, Dustin Rhodes would give his thoughts on both champion and challenger. The Natural was quoted saying the following.
“Maxwell Jacob Friedman is pretty new in the business,” Rhodes said. “Four, five years, Mox has got the experience on it. Mox knows how to carry the title and put the weight of the company on his shoulders basically and carry it and does a great job at it. I love Moxley as champion. He handles himself well and he goes out there and he performs and he delivers.
MJF also delivers, but he’s just on the cusp of his greatness, and he’s doing so many great things right now. “The heel, babyface, tweener, back and forth, they hated him, they kind of love him. I’ve talked to MJF about this, ‘Sooner or later you’re gonna be a babyface, buddy,’ and it looks like that’s kind of where they’re going ’cause they love him.”
In the end, Rhodes expected Moxley to walk away still AEW World Champion – feeling it’s not quite MJF’s moment just yet. Rhodes is not expected to be involved with Full Gear in an on-screen role, with his last televised match being an unsuccessful challenger for the Ring of Honor World Championship back when Claudio Castagnoli was champion.
Rhodes seems to be focusing more on helping backstage these days, hoping to push the women’s division to the next level – helping it rival WWE’s division. Do you think Rhodes will wrestle anymore on AEW TV? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.
