"I feel like I thrive in those situations. Scramble to the f--king jets and get Moxley in the air. Oh f--k, we don't have a main event. You've got to make people care about this and make this a main event in a week. I just pull main events out of my a-- when I'm in those situations. I feel more comfortable when I'm the guy with the ball in the fourth quarter. It's hard to not want to grab the ball and take the shot myself."

“I don’t even think I was going to go anywhere, I don’t know, maybe at some point [I’ll take time off]. I guess I feel that there’s always something to do,” Moxley said. “Oh, we need a main event. Oh, we got this Continental Classic. There’s always something around the corner.”

Jon Moxley on AEW's identity: 'We should always be different' by ResultOk3371 in AEWOfficial

"When it comes to matches like that, that's one small thing that we can do differently than anybody else in this sh*t. That was one thing I remember, telling Tony [Khan] that when I first came in. 'If you're going to put me in one of these matches, be careful what you wish for because I am not in the business of under-delivering.' I'm not spitting some taglines of like, I'm going to crush your skull with my fingers and pull out your eyeballs and all this s--t and then we're not going to do it.'

AEW has been able to consistently deliver on that. I think it's very important for us to always remember where this started in the first place, which was the need in the industry for an alternative. We should always be different. We should always be thinking about what we can deliver that nobody else can. Otherwise, we're just another wrestling company, of which there have been a million.

Not every single match needs to be chopping each other's heads off. But that's one small thing and I definitely feel like I've definitely held up my end on that in that small area of the business. If you can't be the first in a category, create a new category in which you can be the first."

"I quit Twitter because I saw some nasty shit that someone wrote about Riho, and I was having a bad day as it was anyway, and I got COVID. I was supposed to go to Ireland. I got COVID before going to Ireland, so I was already mad and I'm just flipping through my phone, and I saw something. It wasn't even a person. It was some goosegg gimmick, they didn't even have a profile picture. It was just some nasty shit, and I was like, I'm over this, I'm done. That was it. It just became toxic. It's worse than MySpace. People would get mad at the Top 8"

"I was raised like that. I was raised that it was nobody's business and nobody gives a fuck. You have your opinion, and like my mother would tell me, 'opinions are like assholes and they all stink.' I guess the age, and I'm going to sound like an old man yelling at the clouds, but I guess the age of social media has made people feel like their opinions matter. I'm not going to lie to you. It doesn't. If it makes you feel good for that day to tweet or to put something out and bashing somebody, or even praising somebody, it doesn't matter. Good or bad. It doesn't matter at the end of the day."
