Moxley's fine came from his commentary during the Zero Hour pre-show match between Claudio Castagnoli and Josh Barnett. However, it was during this commentary stint that he allegedly used language that led to the fine.

Moxley said that the pre-show match between Castagnoli and Barnett wasn't even the pay-per-view yet, and fans were 'getting this s**t for free.' He also dropped an S-bomb during the commentary.

Later in the night, Jon Moxley returned to the commentary table, where Ricky Starks faced off against Wheeler Yuta. It was during this second appearance that he revealed the reason behind his fine, citing the language he used during the AEW WrestleDream Zero Hour show.

During an episode of Jim Cornette's Drive-Thru, Cornette questioned why Moxley's concussion was not taken more seriously.

"They said that Moxley – they thought he had a concussion in the back, but apparently he was okay. But they took Adam Cole to the hospital because he jumped off the ramp to do a run-in and hurt his ankle."

He continued:

"So, again, the luck of fools that this guy gets dropped on his head by a maniac twice but ‘Eh, he’s okay!’ But Adam Cole jumps off the f**king entrance ramp and ‘Oh, we gotta cart him off in a meat wagon!’ What the f**k is going on over there!"
