Gabe Kidd makes it clear he does not work for AEW. He only works for Jon Moxley.
At AEW Dynamite: Beach Break, Gabe Kidd aligned himself with Jon Moxley during Moxley’s Steel Cage Match against Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship. He showed up and slid the briefcase carrying the title belt into the cage, and Moxley used it to hit Joe in the face, leading to him retaining the championship. Moments later, Swerve Strickland challenged Moxley, Kidd, and the rest of the Death Riders to Anarchy in the Arena, with the signature match later being set for AEW Double or Nothing 2025.
During the May 17 edition of AEW Collision, Jon Moxley and Gabe Kidd will be featured in a promo in which Moxley said Kidd works for him. In a new interview with Sean Ross Sapp, Kidd confirmed just that. He doesn't work for AEW; he works for the AEW World Champion.
"I don’t work for AEW. I work for Jon Moxley right now. You can say what you want, but I have my purpose, my vision, my path. That’s what I’m doing right now. Fuck all the noise. It’s about what I’m trying to accomplish, what we are trying to accomplish," he said.
"None of your business," he said when asked how his business relationship with Moxley came to be. "The important thing is that it did, and it happened, and it’s happening. It’s a very crazy collaboration of people getting together and working towards the same goal. Don’t worry about how it came about, just be happy that it did."
When asked if he saw Tony Khan or Rocky Romero backstage at AEW Beach Break, Gabe Kidd didn’t hold back in his response, “I was in and out. I got in there and did what I needed to do, and what happened happened. That’s it. I didn’t see any of them nerds because they would have gotten knocked out with a slap. That’s that.”
Gabe Kidd is no stranger to violence, and when it comes to Anarchy in the Arena, he only thinks violent thoughts, which is good for him and bad for anyone staring across from him in the squared circle.
"I only think violent thoughts. Let me get this clear, this is my battlefield," he said. "This is where I thrive, these kind of violent environments. That’s what I love. I just came off beating Ren Narita in a dogpound cage match. I’m just excited, happy, and content with where I’m going to be on Sunday. The people’s faces that I’m going to look down on and see them squeeming, it gets me excited and does make me happy. I grew up watching Samoa Joe. I’m going to look down on him when I’m punching him in the face repeatedly, and it’s going to be a very special moment for me.
"All of them. Whoever it is. Whoever the fuck it is. I don’t care. All of them," he said when asked if he cares who gets added to Strickland's team for Anarchy in the Arena. "They are putting AEW on their back. They’re putting that on their chest. Fuck em. I will rip their chests open and eat their hearts out for real. I will bite someone’s ear off. It’s crazy the things going through my head on a day-to-day basis. It’s mad."
