AEW’s Jon Moxley Was In ‘F***in’ Outer Space’ After Concussion, Calls For Safeguards

Moxley hypothesized as to what these safeguards could look like, and how they could be implemented. “Maybe a really experienced wrestler and a really experienced doctor, who are trained to see signs of that sh**, are watching it on a separate feed,” he explained, before justifying why they couldn’t be ringside, “Even if they have a doctor close to ringside, what if the guy f***ing spills outside the ring? He doesn’t see that.”

Moxley explained that for it to work neither safeguarding individual will be in the know as far as creative is concerned. They would be completely in the dark about the characters in the story, the planned victor, or the scheduled timing of the bout. He also explained that the wrestler would be there to advise the doctor as to whether what they have just seen is a legitimate or worked injury, given that sometimes it can be hard to tell to an outsider.

“As soon as the doctor sees a sign of somebody being concussed, he just hits the f***ing red button … No matter how much time is left. No matter if it’s on live TV. It’s just over, and you figure it out from there.”

Jon Moxley had been scheduled for a rematch with Fenix for the International Championship, but he couldn’t be medically cleared in time. Orange Cassidy instead re-captured the title during “Dynamite: Title Tuesday”.
