Jon Moxley isn't sure that Swerve Strickland is ready to be a top guy.
On the December 6 edition of AEW Dynamite, Jon Moxley defeated RUSH in a Continental Classic bout. This was Moxley's third straight win in the tournament, putting him at the top of Gold League standings with Swerve Strickland.
Following the match, AEW cameras caught up with Moxley backstage for an exclusive promo. In the promo, Moxley said that people told him to be afraid of RUSH before noting that he has a lot of bark and no bite.
“I had people acting all week like I was supposed to be scared of RUSH, supposed to be scared of this guy. He’s a lot of bark, dudes have been barking at me my entire life and it never turns out that they have much bite. Was it a hard match? Yeah, hell yeah."
Moxley then turned his attention to his upcoming bout with Swerve Strickland, which will take place on the December 13 episode of AEW Dynamite.
"Will next week against Swerve be a hard match? Yeah, hell yeah. But as they say, it’s a shame for the helmsman to be surprised when the wind is unfavorable. This is the Continental Classic baby, it’s supposed to be hard. Swerve Strickland’s got a lot of buzz… he’s cheap. Being at the top of this sport and staying there is another thing entirely and it’s very, very costly. For a guy like you in your position, it’s right about now when you realize that it’s a price you’re not willing to pay. Are you going to be the guy who takes me out? Whatever will be, will be. Next week, Swerve Strickland, Jon Moxley, and the ghosts and demons that always chase me to the ring. This is gonna be something you’ve never attempted to do before, and it’s gonna be a long night, so I suggest you pack a lunch.”
