WWE veteran blasts Jon Moxley for breaking character on AEW TV
Former AEW World Champion Jon Moxley got a lot of people talking after the most recent episode of Dynamite as he briefly broke character during the show. The incident has now invited criticism from WWE veteran Jim Cornette.
The Elite and the Blackpool Combat Club have been embroiled in a heated feud for months at the time of writing. During the melee that closed out the June 14, 2023, edition of Dynamite, Moxley was spotted whispering something to The Young Bucks.
Jim Cornette recently blasted Jon Moxley and fans online who defended the incident. Here's what the WWE veteran had to say on The Jim Cornette Experience:
"People on Twitter were clipping that and putting it up and [saying], 'Look at this bulls**t' and 'this unprofessional idiot,' and I swear to god, the AEW crowd came out and were trying to defend that. At first, it was a production error like 'How dare the production team do that!' What? Opposite the hard camera? What are we supposed to be shooting? The f**king hidden camera in the women's bathroom? You would never dream that was going to happen because I don't know if I've ever seen that happen that blatantly ever in wrestling before."

Jon Moxley in the background talking to Matt Jackson like they were friends was not a good look. Sure, may not seem like a big deal but when you’re telling a story with the hatred between BCC/Elite, definitely is a WTF moment #AEWDynamite https://t.co/InW0emeY4Q
Jim Cornette also blamed Moxley and The Elite for the drop in viewership towards the end of the podcast episode. The former booker claimed nobody likes them and switches the channel whenever they are on TV.

The former AEW World Champion will team up with Homicide to take on El Desperado and Jun Kasai in a Doomsday No DQ match on July 4. He will later face off against El Desperado on July 5 in what is being billed as a Final Death match.
El Desperado was beaten by Jon Moxley at the 2022 NJPW Music City Mayhem event in a brutal No Disqualification match. But after his participation in the recent Tournament of Survival for GCW, Desperado feels it is finally time to get his revenge on the former AEW World Champion.
