The 23-year-old has made several enemies during his short time in the promotion so far, chief among them being The Purveyor of Violence. The two men have been at each other’s throats since they first wrestled in the main event of AEW Rampage: The First Dance last year. Mox defeated Garcia in a grueling match that night.
The two foes then met each other most recently on the Double or Nothing fallout episode, which saw Moxley emerge victorious again. Speaking on the Talk Is Jericho podcast, Garcia revealed that he was surprised to see Mr. Khan showing so much faith in him early in his career.
Garcia noted that he had no TV experience prior to joining AEW, but he is grateful to TK for seeing potential in him:
The rising star was part of The Jericho Appreciation Society’s memorable victory over The Blackpool Combat Club w/ Eddie Kingston and Proud & Powerful at Double or Nothing 2022.
Jon Moxley will come face-to-face with his Forbidden Door opponent tonight.
At the upcoming AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door pay-per-view, Jon Moxley and Hiroshi Tanahashi will collide for the interim World Championship.
Moxley recently defeated Kyle O’Reilly to earn a title shot, while Tanahashi bested his long-time rival, Hirooki Goto, at Dominion. The two men have never crossed paths in singles competition, which has made their impending clash incredibly buzzworthy.
Ahead of their highly-anticipated matchup, the two men will come face-to-face on the Road Rager edition of AEW Dynamite tonight. It will be interesting to see if Jon Moxley and The Ace of NJPW will come to blows to build hype for the June 26th pay-per-view.
