Moreover, current International Champion Orange Cassidy, who, despite being engaged in a heated rivalry with him in 2023, had massive words of praise for the former WWE Champion, labeling him as a locker-room leader during an interview with Adrian Hernandez.

"Jon Moxley is a leader for AEW, and I think a lot of people look to Jon Moxley for leadership. I am, too, like Jon Moxley, a person that leads by example, and I saw the example that he was setting, and I was like, 'You know, I want to do that.'"

With Jon Moxley set to return after a huge setback, it would interesting to see what he has in store to unleash upon the All Elite audience moving forward.
