Darby Allin calls Jon Moxley "Underrated"

Posted By James Walsh on 09/27/24


During an appearance on the Superstar Crossover podcast, AEW star Darby Allin was asked who he thinks is the most underrated performer in the company. Here was Darby’s response…

“It sounds kind of strange to say this, but I think it’s Jon Moxley. When he first came to the company, he was the guy. I remember being like, ‘This is game-changing,’ for him to show up at Double or Nothing. I felt like he was just another guy for a while. He was thrown into random matches for the sake of it.

If you give Jon the ball, there is no better performer than him. I felt like his run last year, he became IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, but in the world of AEW, I felt like he was just in random tag matches. I felt something when he came out at Double or Nothing. I felt the energy of the room change. Now, I feel he’s put himself right back in the fold by killing people with plastic bags.” (quote courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)
