Jon Moxley, a prominent figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), recently sparked speculation about his future in professional wrestling. Since joining AEW in 2019, Moxley has emerged as one of the promotion’s top talents, boasting an impressive track record in singles competition.
He currently leads the Blackpool Combat Club, a formidable stable alongside Bryan Danielson, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli, renowned for their intense ring presence and compelling character dynamics.
The Blackpool Combat Club’s recent skirmishes with wrestlers from Mexico’s Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) have captured attention on AEW programming.
The feud ignited when Moxley endured an assault by Mistico, Hechicero, Mascara Dorada, and Volador Jr. during the January 31, 2024, episode of Dynamite.
In a significant development, Moxley and Castagnoli secured victory over CMLL representatives Esfinge and Star Jr. on the February 10, 2024, edition of Collision.
Reflecting on the rich heritage associated with CMLL, Moxley hinted at the Blackpool Combat Club’s potential appearance at Mexico City’s iconic Arena Mexico, a renowned venue for CMLL events.

Cornette’s commentary delved into Moxley’s transition from WWE to AEW, juxtaposing his former stablemates’ success with Moxley’s current endeavors.
