AEW just booked AEW World Champion Jon Moxley for a major multi-year extension, but before he became exclusive to AEW and their international partners, he had some work to wind up in GCW. Coming to today, Moxley was also the GCW World Champion, and at tonight’s Fight Club pay-per-view show, he was set to face Nick Gage in a Title vs Career match. The match was bloody and featured glass, pizza cutters and more, but in the end it will be AEW’s The Firm help that will help Gage seal the deal and defeat Moxley, becoming GCW World Champion once again.
It was Morrissey of the company and Stokely Hathaway who came to deliver a choking blow to Moxley on what looked like broken glass. This will likely lead to a major feud for them in AEW, where Moxley will be an exclusive for at least the next five years. However, the deal does allow Moxley to appear in AEW’s international partners such as New Japan Pro Wrestling.
