Jon Moxley seemingly secures major trademark; could revive legendary tag team
Jon Moxley is on a rampage in AEW, and he's gathered a dangerous group of like-minded stars around him. At WrestleDream, he could become the first-ever four-time AEW World Champion. At the same time, he might be planning to revive a tag team that became legendary for its brutality more than a decade ago.
Before joining WWE, Jon Moxley teamed with Sami Callihan on the independent circuit. The two were known as The Switchblade Conspiracy, and they wreaked havoc in CZW, wXw, and other promotions. The two briefly reunited as The Switchblades in The Wrestling Revolver in 2022 before going their separate ways again.
Sami Callihan is currently signed to MLW and TNA. Meanwhile, Moxley is bent on destroying Bryan Danielson, and his revamped Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, and Marina Shafir) is clearing the way for him. But it seems that Mox could be eyeing a revival of The Switchblade Conspiracy, as well.
Attorney Mike Dockins, who is known to handle trademark filings for wrestling stars, recently uploaded a picture of himself with Moxley on X(fka Twitter). In the pic, the former AEW World Champion can be seen holding the trademark certificate for "Switchblade Conspiracy."
Check out the tweet below:
Moxley originally filed to trademark the name back in 2021, but there was no update on the filing until now when his attorney confirmed the update. Whether he reunites with Callihan in or out of AEW remains to be seen.
Jon Moxley has declared war on Bryan Danielson and AEW
After teaming together since 2022, Jon Moxley shocked the world when he and The Blackpool Combat Club turned on Bryan Danielson at All Out 2024. The Purveyor of Violence has made it clear that he intends to take the AEW World Championship for himself and put an end to The American Dragon's career.
The Blackpool Combat Club has cracked, with Danielson being thrown out and Wheeler Yuta being forced to choose between his mentor and the new, brutal iteration of the faction. Yuta made his decision to stand with the AEW World Champion on the most recent edition of Dynamite.
Moxley believes there is a sickness in All Elite Wrestling, and he intends to cure it by force. The Blackpool Combat Club stands beside him, but they've now made several enemies among the AEW roster.
Moxley will face Danielson for the AEW World Championship at WrestleDream this Saturday, October 12. Whether The Purveyor of Violence can end The American Dragon's career remains to be seen.
