AEW is making a huge mistake with Jon Moxley at Double or Nothing, according to wrestling journalist

A veteran wrestling journalist believes that AEW and Tony Khan are making a big mistake by putting Jon Moxley at Double or Nothing this Sunday. Mox is set to face Konosuke Takeshita at the pay-per-view.

Jon Moxley won the IWGP Heavyweight Championship recently at the NJPW Windy City Riot event. After winning New Japan Pro Wrestling's biggest prize, Mox became the only wrestler to win WWE, AEW, and the IWGP World Titles. Moxley also defended the gold against Powerhouse Hobbs on Tony Khan's promotion.

After his successful title defense, Mox was confronted by Konosuke Takeshita who seemingly challenged him for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. It was later announced that Moxley would face Takeshita in a non-title match this Sunday at Double or Nothing.

Veteran wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer expressed his displeasure with the idea of Mox and Takeshita wrestling in a non-title match. Speaking on the Wrestling Observer Radio recently, Meltzer stated the following:

"I don’t believe in that non-title match being on a pay-per-view. I think the non-title match should be on TV. I think the pay-per-view should be a title match. I know why, I know probably why, because Moxley’s wrestling EVIL. It should absolutely be a title match. Even if it’s a non-title match and Takeshita wins, which I doubt is gonna happen, that’s still better for television." [H/T: WOR]

Jon Moxley will defend his IWGP Heavyweight Championship next month

While Jon Moxley will take on Konosuke Takeshita in a non-title match this Sunday at Double or Nothing, he is also slated to defend his IWGP Title at the upcoming NJPW Dominion event on June 9. Moxley will face New Japan star EVIL for the title.

Henceforth, it remains to be seen if Moxley will successfully retain his IWGP Champion after NJPW Dominion.
