6 Feuds for Jon Moxley now that he's officially a member of All Elite Wrestling

It's official. With his appearance and attack of both competitors after the main event match between Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley let the world know that he was 'All Elite' and looking to take over. He didn't beat around the bush after emerging from the crowd, giving a DDT to Jericho, Omega and the ref.

The night ended with Moxley and Omega brawling with each other all the way to the entrance ramp. He then DDT'd Omega on top of the Poker chips before giving 'the Best Bout Machine' an Attitude Adjustment off of the stack of chips.

And with that, All Elite Wrestling fired an enormous warning shot at the pro wrestling business and particularly at WWE. The night was filled with jabs at WWE from Cody coming out with a sledgehammer to destroying a throne during his entrance. They also poked fun at WWE's penchant for proclaiming attendance records that they are breaking.

Now that the former Dean Ambrose is officially a member of the All Elite Wrestling roster, the possibilities for him are endless. He has feuded with a few of the current members of the roster but the rest of the Superstars in AEW haven't faced the former 'Lunatic Fringe.'

It was also announced that he'd be wrestling at AEW's next show, but against whom? Here are six feuds that Moxley should have now that he's a member of AEW. Some make logical sense while some are personal preferences of mine.


Chris Jericho

Will AEW tell their own version of a feud that Moxley had before joining the new promotion?

Along with Jimmy Havoc, Moxley has already feuded with the legend of pro wrestling that is Chris Jericho. Very few pro wrestlers are able to stay as active and relevant as Jericho has now that he's nearing 50. It' part of his aura due to his ability to successfully have his hands in multiple ventures (podcast, Fozzy, wrestling) at the same time while also not suffering serious injuries.

While they did feud in WWE a few times, this is a new version of Jericho and a new version of Moxley. AEW is TV-14, allowing for a more mature product and feud between two men who feuded against each other under TV-PG conditions.

Due to his attack on both men at Double or Nothing, it could be a feud that is done right away or one that is postponed until a heavyweight champ is crowned. Now that both men will have more creative freedom, it could certainly top what they've done with each other before.

Joey Janela

A lot of the choices for potential feuds for Moxley will be much different than ones he had in WWE. The TV-14 rating suits his character better than TV-PG and there are several other characters in AEW that are better suited for the mature rating. One such man is 'Bad Boy' Joey Janela.

I've always thought he looked like a shorter version of Dalton Castle but flanked by Penelope Ford rather than the Boys. But unlike Castle, Janela takes part in more hardcore matches than 'the Party Peacock'.

Since both Janela and Moxley are not strangers to bleeding or having matches with weapons or tables, it makes sense for the two men to eventually cross paths in AEW. The alignments wouldn't matter because both men would be cheered regardless of if they are heels or faces.

It could be a hardcore-based feud like Moxley's old days in Combat Zone Wrestling or they could clean it up a bit with AEW's deep pockets. All Elite Wrestling showed us that it will incorporate a little more blood (Cody vs. Dustin) and foreign objects (Jimmy Havoc's staple gun) than WWE, and this is a feud that would fit in perfectly with those new facets.

Hangman Page

The whole lead up to Double or Nothing was strange for Hangman Page. First, he was supposed to battle PAC but that was removed from the PPV itself. Instead, they faced off last week, and Page instead entered and won the Casino Battle Royale. Due to his win, he will face Chris Jericho at a later date for the right to become the inaugural AEW Heavyweight Champion.

While that's perfectly fine, Page is someone that isn't a big a star as Jon Moxley. Even though he was unhappy at times in WWE, the company made him a huge star. And as we've seen before in TNA/Impact and Ring of Honor, even lower card WWE stars are bigger deals in smaller companies. The former Dean Ambrose was one of the top Superstars in the WWE.

A feud with Moxley and a potential triumph in that feud would help propel Page into Superstardom due to Moxley's status in the industry. Hangman has always needed an opportunity to 'run with the ball' in order to be considered a huge star in the industry, and with his spot in the Elite and AEW, it appears he will get that chance. A big test of his main-event worthiness would be tangling with Moxley.

Darby Allin

Due to his spot in the company Evolve, WWE must have had their eyes on Allin. He's still young in his career but he's become a big star on the indies and in Evolve. Going along with their mission statement of showcasing up-and-coming stars rather than aging veterans, Allin is someone that fits that adage perfectly.

He's young, athletic and unique due to his character and his presentation. He seems along the lines of Aleister Black. Both men have dark sides that their characters project. Allin comes out to the ring with a body bag while Black rises from the stage as if he is emerging from a coffin.

Supernatural or occult Superstars are usually hit or miss, but these two are done extremely well. Allin takes part in a lot of hardcore matches just like Janela. For that reason, it seems only natural that Moxley would mix it up at some point with Allin.

They could have a hardcore match or a body bag match, especially if Allin continues to come to the ring with one in AEW. It would also be a match between someone who first made his name hardcore matches (Moxley) and a newer star who is currently following the same path (Allin).

Penta El Zero M

Together the Lucha Brothers are great ,but they are just as good as singles stars

Also like Janela and Allin, if AEW wanted to have an extremely insane hardcore feud, then all they would have to do is have the former Pentagon Jr. battle the former Dean Ambrose. Both men are hardcore wrestlers at heart but can adapt to high-flying styles or striking-based matches.

If you watched Penta El Zero M's matches in Lucha Underground, more than half of them involved hardcore spots and/or blood. You think Moxley has been waiting to do matches that involve both of those things while in WWE? Penta is also a great submission wrestler, striker and high-flyer.

The potential for carnage would be high if these two squared off and AEW has to have these two feud with each other at some point. Both men are big stars in the industry and a match between them has been a dream match. If AEW books it, it will no longer be a dream match but a reality. A bloody, weapon-filled reality. Sign me up.

Kenny Omega

The seeds for this feud have already been planted

With one appearance, Moxley set up two potential feuds for his AEW run should they decide to pursue them. He first attacked Jericho, and we know that those two have a long history with each other. Moxley capped off the night with a longer - and what seemed like a more personal - fight with Kenny Omega.

They fought through the crowd and eventually made their way to the stage. From there, Moxley put Omega through a table after giving 'the Cleaner' an AA off of the stack of Poker chips. Outside of Jericho, Omega is the biggest star in the company and with Moxley's arrival, it puts him in the triumvirate of top stars in the company.

Some people feel that Cody Rhodes is one of the biggest stars in the company and business, but the three aforementioned stars are bigger than he is. A feud with Omega would truly cement that AEW isn't playing around and it could certainly main event one of their future PPVs.

Omega being an Executive VP and immediately winning the AEW Heavyweight Championship wouldn't seem the best since he and the Elite are in charge of the company. A side feud with Moxley before a title run would help prolong the inevitability of Omega carrying the top prize in the company.

Think of how Roman Reigns hasn't immediately been thrust into the WWE Championship picture since returning just yet. It's going to happen, but not at the moment. The same can be said regarding Omega and the AEW Title.

Moxley vs. Omega is almost as big as 'Alpha vs. Omega' and it could be even bigger depending on the stakes. Factor in more creative freedom for both stars and we have the potential for one of the biggest feuds of the last decade within the next year.
