At some point, pain stops being a warning and starts becoming a language. Where everything makes sense in a different way. Not cleaner. Just real. The world doesn’t change for anyone. The ones who stay standing are the ones who stopped expecting it to.
So walking in there confident wasn’t arrogance — it was evidence.
I just couldn’t finish the job this time but credit where it’s due, man. You survived me again. Barely. Which honestly might be the nicest compliment I can give somebody in wrestling. Until next time, sick fuck.
You can have the perfect gameplan right up until somebody punches you in the mouth hard enough to reset your operating system.
And look, I meant everything I said leading into #AEWDoN.
I have beaten him before.
I have made him tap out before. Twice.
The intense feud between AEW Continental Champion @JonMoxley & @KORCombat reached new heights when Mox put the title on the line vs O'Reilly!
Watch the #AEWDoN replay RIGHT NOW on @HBOMax PPV!
Kyle O'Reilly is one of the toughest son’s of bitches I’ve had the pleasure of shedding blood with. It’s always killer meets killer when we go at it. Where violence meets technique. Never a dull moment. Double or Nothing was no exception.
Tony Khan praises MJF, Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega as the best box office World Champions AEW has had:
“The only wrestlers who’ve held the championship three times in AEW as a World Champion are MJF and Jon Moxley, and they are the two of, I would say, the best box office champions we’ve had along with Kenny Omega. I think it would be very fair to say that the three of them have all been fantastic in their championship reigns... and I would say that some of the best times box office-wise for the company were with those two as the champion and with Kenny as the champion.
And I also think Hangman, fantastic. I mean, every champion we’ve had has done really, really well. But when you say that MJF, now a three-time champion, and Jon Moxley, a four-time champion, not only the results of winning the championship multiple times, but they’ve been very, very successful in the box office when they’ve been the champion.”
