Fans had been concerned about the newly-crowned Interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley. He had a gruesome clash with NJPW star Hiroshi Tanahashi in the main event of AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door for the Interim AEW World Championship. Moxley and Tanahashi battled in a violent contest that saw the former busted open early on. In the end, The Mox hit the Death Rider DDT on the Ace to win the memorable bout.
Jon Moxley stated he might have suffered a concussion
After the show ended, Mox addressed the crowd and stated that he had lost a lot of blood and might have suffered a concussion. Moxley’s statement left fans concerned as Adam Cole suffered a legit concussion earlier in the show and many wrestlers are out of action owing to injuries.
However, veteran journalist Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer reported that the new interim AEW World Champion doesn’t have a concussion:
“I guess it’s part of his schtick actually. But no he (Moxley) does not have a concussion and he’s fine. He’s probably not going to use the line again because he realized if he doesn’t have a concussion then he probably shouldn’t use the line because people freak out over it.”
The highly anticipated AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view was one of the historic events in pro wrestling. The monumental event went down at the United Center in Chicago. The card was stacked with some huge matches. While the show was a massive success, it also saw some controversial incidents. One instance was during the match between Jon Moxley and Hiroshi Tanahashi itself. AÂ couple of fans in attendance started a brawl of their own. This led to the event security drag the two fans out of the arena.
