3 AEW stars who must be kept away from Jon Moxley's faction at all costs
Jon Moxley is currently going through a vital stage in his career. At All Out, The Purveyor of Violence attacked his former stablemate, AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson. The nature of this assault was so deadly that several fans as well as industry veterans were shocked.
Furthermore, in today's Dynamite, the erstwhile Dean Ambrose expressed his desire to become AEW World Champion once again. Moxley and Darby Allin finally came face-to-face, and the former demanded the "Daredevil" hand him over the latter's world title opportunity. Allin was furious about this proposal. However, the two reached an agreement.
Jon Moxley and Darby Allin will lock horns at Grand Slam 2024 in a singles match. The winner of their encounter will earn a shot at the AEW World Title. Even though Tony Khan's promotion has not made an official announcement yet, it appears like the Blackpool Combat Club is over, and in its place, a new faction is set to be in place. The new stable currently includes Moxley, PAC, Claudio Castagnoli, and Marina Shafir.
Jon Moxley's new faction will certainly try to get stronger by adding reinforcements. In the coming weeks, fans might see them join hands with several stars. However, Tony Khan has to be careful with this. For some talents, it's better if they stay away from this group.
Here's a look at three AEW stars who should stay away from Jon Moxley's new stable:
#3. Darby Allin can be a better rival to Jon Moxley than a friend
Darby Allin is undoubtedly one of AEW's biggest stars. He has predominantly been a face throughout his time in the company and has held the TNT Title twice.
The Tony Khan-led creative team should continue to keep Allin as a face because he is completely over with fans. Even though he and Jon Moxley are set to battle at Grand Slam 2024, there is still a possibility of the "Daredevil" joining the faction in the coming weeks. Tony Khan should make sure that the 31-year-old remains a good guy because a shocking heel turn could lead to a negative reaction from fans.
#2. Hangman Adam Page
Once upon a time in AEW, a war broke out between Adam Page and Jon Moxley. Their feud is considered the company's finest moment in storytelling, as they locked horns with each other in multiple instances.
Page just got out of a career-defining feud with Swerve Strickland. He is at the top of his game and has immense momentum. Even though Page and Moxley have history, Tony Khan shouldn't ever think of adding him to the latter's group. Some cowboys are simply meant to walk alone.
#1. Eddie Kingston
Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley are close friends in real life. They have battled as well as allied in the Jacksonville-based promotion in the past, and it makes perfect sense for them to join forces in the future.
However, Eddie Kingston standing up to the tyranny of his good friend sounds like a better story than the obvious one. Although the 42-year-old is currently sidelined due to injury, the two men will one day come face-to-face again, and when that happens, Tony Khan should resist the urge to turn The Mad King heel.
