Summary

– Match set for AEW Spring Breakthrough next week on Collision

AEW World Champion Jon Moxley is stepping into the fire—again. After PAC was sidelined with an injury, Moxley announced on AEW Collision that he would take his place in the high-stakes tag match at Spring Breakthrough.

Moxley didn’t mince words. Standing beside Hook, he called out Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata directly, making it clear that they were not backing down. “We do not concede territory,” Moxley declared, issuing an instantly accepted challenge.

The AEW World Champion also took a dig at wrestlers he sees as unwilling to put themselves on the line, saying only those who step up and face danger will find glory. He also offered Hook some signature Moxley-style motivation: “It’s the biggest match of your life… but trust me, chicks dig scars.”

The match is now set for AEW Spring Breakthrough, and with Moxley in the mix, the stakes—and the violence—just got a lot higher.
