Jon Moxley and AEW face lawsuit; veteran blames the company

Jon Moxley and AEW are currently facing a lawsuit. A wrestling veteran has blamed the company.

Al Snow is the latest to comment on the lawsuit involving Jon Moxley and AEW. On the May 10, 2023, episode of Dynamite, Mox faced off against Kenny Omega in a steel cage match. During the match, he went to grab a screwdriver and shoved a crew member to the floor, which was an unplanned incident. It was recently reported that this crew member, whose name is Christopher Dispensa, has now filed a lawsuit against Mox and AEW alleging civil assault, battery, and major negligence. He also claimed that the incident required him to get shoulder fusion surgery.

During a recent episode of Vince Russo's "The Brand" podcast, the former WWE writer discussed the lawsuit with Al Snow. Russo suggested that it was perhaps adrenaline that was driving Mox, and he asked the wrestling veteran if adrenaline could be controlled. Al Snow replied in the negative and blamed the company for not being proactive and taking care of Dispensa as soon as this incident occurred.

"No. You know, in this situation, I think, you know, where they it's a a mishap on their part, on the company's part. The company should have addressed and immediately took steps to take care of Dispensa because of the situation that occurred during the match and you know it was inadvertent but you know the company would've avoided a lot of trouble from another public black eye and additional expense if they would have just went ahead and addressed it from the start."
