Jon Moxley sends a serious warning to top AEW star

Jon Moxley is set to battle one of AEW's most resilient competitors this coming week at WrestleDream. Ahead of their imminent matchup, The One True King has sent an ominous warning to his opponent, Darby Allin.

Despite losing to Jon Moxley in a Coffin Match last month at All Out: Toronto, The Daredevil nearly put an end to The Purveyor of Violence by setting him on fire backstage. On the following episode of AEW Dynamite, Darby appeared with a flamethrower to confront the Death Riders and challenged Mox to face him again at WrestleDream, this time in an I Quit match. The relentless star sustained a beatdown at the hands of the violent faction on the Sixth Anniversary edition of Dynamite, but retaliated earlier this Tuesday by costing Pac his match against Orange Cassidy.

Later, the Death Riders attempted to go after Allin, but the latter fended them with various weapons, hinting at the intense violence expected during his I Quit match against Moxley at WrestleDream. On the latest episode of AEW Collision, Marina Shafir, Daniel Garcia, and Pac addressed Darby and their ongoing war with him. Moxley himself appeared near the end of the segment, sending the former TNT Champion an ominous warning for the next time they meet.

"The very next time I see Darby Allin, he will get his face smashed in. That's a promise."
