A recent questionable spot featuring Jon Moxley has been assessed by the WWE legend, Matt Hardy. Matt was signed with AEW from 2020 to 2024 and currently performs in TNA. At WrestleDream 2025, Moxley squared off against Darby Allin in a hellacious 'I Quit' match, which featured many brutal spots.

The most controversial spot happened to be when Moxley put Darby Allin's head into a fish tank filled with water and tried to suffocate him. People all over social media had mixed reactions regarding the same, and now Matt Hardy gave his thoughts as well.

Speaking on his Extreme Life podcast, Matt Hardy admitted that while the fish tank spot was not the greatest, it was certainly not the worst thing AEW has ever done:

"I saw the spot and by no means do I think that this is the worst thing that AEW has ever done... Sure it’s not the greatest thing I’ve seen on TV but I mean you can say that from TNA, you can say that from WWE. There’s been incidents that have happened across all these places where there’s been controversial things that kids should not try at home," said Matt. [H/T WrestleTalk]
