Jon Moxley suffered an unfortunate defeat at the hands of Kenny Omega in December. This loss ended his remarkable reign as the AEW World Champion. Moxley took some time off, but he returned at AEW New Year's Smash Night 1. There, he declared that he plans to get some revenge, and he placed a huge target on Omega's back.
Later that night, Moxley proved that he wanted to fight Omega. He came down to the ring with a baseball bat and proceeded to beat the AEW World Champion with it. But Moxley was outnumbered when the Good Brothers attacked him. The former champion was left writhing in pain as the reformed Bullet Club celebrated this momentous occasion.
If Moxley's past is any indication, he won't stop until he takes Omega down. Moxley could choose Hard To Kill as his next opportunity to get his hands on "The Cleaner." He could even help Rich Swann and the Motor City Machine Guns on Saturday. If he does, he might take the collaboration between AEW and IMPACT Wrestling to a new level.

Zain is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on WWE. He has a Bachelor’s degree in English and is set to pursue a Master's program at Harvard Divinity School later this year, along with having 4 years of experience.
Zain ensures his work is reliable and accurate by verifying the information through multiple credible sources. He aims to provide ample context and details in his articles, creating a pleasant reading experience.
While Edge was a despised villain for the majority of his first run with WWE, Zain loved his commitment to the character. He admired his ability to narrate a compelling story with his subtle moves and actions inside the ring. He believes no one in the business has come close to the Hall of Famer in terms of staying true to their on-screen gimmick.
If Zain were to book an eye-catching WWE angle, he would pit Cody Rhodes against CM Punk. Zain would have Rhodes highlight Punk’s hypocrisy in coming back to the global juggernaut. Their interaction would lead to Punk turning heel and engaging in a high-profile match with The American Nightmare at a Big Four Premium Live Event.
When not writing, Zain loves to read philosophy, play chess, where he has represented his country at the national level.
