AEW Champion Jon Moxley makes surprise appearance on WWE Backstage [Watch]

WWE Backstage is still going strong amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. Host Renee Young, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T, and WWE Superstar Xavier Woods appeared on the latest edition of the FS1 show.

What surprised fans was a brief moment during the live stream of the show, which saw All Elite Wrestling World Champion Jon Moxley appearing on-screen beside Renee.

As the panel was discussing the RAW Women's title match between Becky Lynch and Shayna Baszler at WrestleMania 36, Moxley suddenly came out of nowhere with his dog, taking Renee by surprise. You can check out the video below:

Here's the entire episode:

The brief appearance resulted in both Booker and Woods bursting out in laughter, with the former stating that stuff like this is what the show is all about.

The Coronavirus outbreak has brought the world to a standstill, and pro-wrestling has already suffered major losses due to the same. WrestleMania, the biggest wrestling show of the year, is emanating from the WWE Performance Center with no live audience. AEW is presenting its weekly Dynamite episodes in empty arenas. Renee is hosting WWE Backstage from her home, which ultimately gave us the visual of Moxley appearing on a WWE-affiliated show.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
