It's @JonMoxley vs. @The_MJF for the #AEW World Title this SATURDAY at #AEWFullGear LIVE on PPV!
🔗allelitewrestling.com/how-to-watch-a… https://t.co/XaRHt02mK1
Jon Moxley claimed that he was the best pro wrestler on the planet, faced all kinds of challengers, and defined the AEW World Championship. He said that he had a sick mind and loved pain and violence. Moxley added that he didn't care about the pain.
Moxley then asked who MJF was before mentioning that The Salt of the Earth went on a hiatus earlier this year. He took shots at MJF and said he was not shaking in his boots at the prospect of facing the former Pinnacle leader.
Stokely Hathaway and The Firm came out at this point and attacked Jon Moxley and William Regal inside the ring. MJF came out and unloaded on The Firm before telling them to leave the city. MJF then said that he only saved Moxley because he wants the latter at 100% and doesn't want excuses from his fans.
MJF talked about how he wouldn't stop before winning the AEW World Championship and how the title meant more to him than food and water. MJF then spoke about this being his time and how Moxley would discover why he was called The Devil. Jon Moxley interrupted him and said he never saw the appeal in MJF before saying they would find out at Full Gear.
The segment ended with both men squaring off in the middle of the ring, with William Regal taunting The Salt of the Earth.
