Jon Moxley had fans concerned about his health coming out of the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door pay-per-view event where he became the interim AEW World Heavyweight Champion when he beat Hiroshi Tanahashi in the main event.
Moxley was busted open shortly after performing a sling blade. Following the match, Moxley stated in a promo to the live fans that he may have suffered a concussion.
In the Daily Update on Monday, Dave Meltzer was told that Moxley has stated that he’s fine, and admitted that he probably shouldn’t have said the line referencing a possible concussion.
It was also discussed on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio. Bryan Alvarez started by stating:
“What actually happened was and I probably should’ve known this because I think he did this somewhat similar promo after the Tom Lawlor match, but he’s used the line before after bloody matches where [he said], ‘I’ve lost a lot of blood, I maybe concussed.’ I guess it’s part of his schtick actually. But no he does not have a concussion and he’s fine.”
Meltzer added, “he does not have a concussion and 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.”
