In a twist as unpredictable as Moxley’s haircut choices, the former AEW World Champion returned to “Dynamite” on Wednesday night, and folks, he wasn’t humming “Wild Thing.” Nope, Moxley dusted off his New Japan Pro-Wrestling theme, sauntering to the ring with an aura of mystery thicker than Schiavone’s glasses.
Moxley, who had been conspicuously absent since Forbidden Door—where he left the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship somewhere between “lost” and “don’t ask”—made his dramatic entrance through the crowd. However, this time, the usual intense swagger was replaced with a vibe that screamed, “I’ve been thinking deep thoughts, and I’m about to drop a philosophical bomb.”
As Tony Schiavone, ever the intrepid mic-holder, made his way into the ring, Moxley hinted at a new game plan. “I’ve been doing more thinking than talking lately,” Moxley revealed, which, considering his usual habit of talking with his fists, was probably the most shocking line of the night. He then issued a cryptic call-out to Darby Allin, declaring that it was time for a chat—a conversation that could either end in a heartfelt bro-hug or a barbed-wire laced showdown.
But Moxley wasn’t done stirring the pot. Just as Schiavone was about to turn the broadcast into the “Welcome to Dynamite” special, Moxley pulled a classic “Oh, one more thing” moment. He dropped a bombshell statement that left everyone scratching their heads: “This is not your company anymore.” What does it mean? Is he starting a coup? Is he planning a hostile takeover? Or did he just lose his way to catering?
One thing’s for sure, folks: Moxley’s back, and just like your uncle’s questionable conspiracy theories at Thanksgiving, he’s got everyone guessing what’s next.
