5 Potential AEW stars who could dethrone Jon Moxley as champion
Jon Moxley had an eventful time at Full Gear pay-per-view, where he retained his AEW World Championship by the skin of his teeth. His match against Orange Cassidy had everything from outside interference to an unexpected ending.
Despite all that, the leader of The Death Riders came out on top, and he will feel vindicated. He will also have to thank his friends for getting him out of a hole. After the match, a melee saw stars like Hangman Adam Page and Christian Cage come out, along with Jay White and Darby Allin.
That sent out a message that Moxley was a marked man with a chip on his shoulder. In this article, we will take a look at five such AEW stars who could dethrone Moxley as champion.
#5. Bobby Lashley can defeat Jon Moxley
This is the most obvious one. Bobby Lashley is AEW’s newest star and has an aura around him that not many can match. He defeated Swerve Strickland at Full Gear and, by virtue of that, has inserted himself into the main event scene.
The All Mighty recently revealed that he would like to win the AEW title soon, which means that Jon Moxley is in his sights. He can be the one to dethrone the AEW Champion.
#4. Hangman Adam Page
Hangman Adam Page showed up after the match and confronted Jon Moxley in an awesome scene. On the one hand, you had someone who wanted to rule the company with an iron fist, and on the other hand, you had an AEW original.
Page has been on the periphery for a long time, and his latest staredown of Moxley suggests that a title challenge is around the corner.
#3. Darby Allin
If there is one person who deserves to take on Jon Moxley and beat him for the AEW title, then it is Darby Allin. Let's not forget that Moxley defeated Allin to take his spot at WrestleDream, where he won the title by defeating Bryan Danielson.
A challenge for the AEW title and, in the process, defeating Moxley would be a come-together moment for Darby Allin and would fulfill his promise of becoming the top star in the company.
#2. Christian Cage
Christian Cage was very close to cashing in his contract at Full Gear, but that did not happen. However, that remains a possibility, and Jon Moxley should not take it for granted.
While it is true that Moxley has his team by his side, which is a big advantage, it should not be forgotten that Christian Cage also has his friends with him. That would serve as an equalizer and would be perfect if he were to dethrone Moxley as AEW World Champion.
#1. MJF
MJF, like Jon Moxley came out victorious in his match at Full Gear as he defeated Roderick Strong. It was clear during that match that he would be well served to challenge for the top prize in AEW.
Given that Jon Moxley is seen as someone who wants to take AEW hostage, MJF could be pushed as Mr. AEW and try to get one over Moxley and save the company in the process.
