Tony Khan has showered praise on Jon Moxley, confirming that the former AEW World Champion did not miss a single show in 2025.
In an interview with Q101, Tony Khan agreed that Jon Moxley has played a key role in AEW throughout 2025. He agreed with the idea that Moxley has been the most important person in the company.
He said, “I can absolutely agree with that, Jon Moxley is one of my all-time favorite wrestlers and one of my all-time favorite people. Jon Moxley’s so important to the foundation of the company from the very first show he’s been here, and he has delivered this year, I agree with you, it’s been my personal favorite year also. I know he’s really enjoyed this year, and that makes me very happy.”
According to Khan, the only person who attended every AEW event this year besides himself was Moxley. “He’s somebody who also takes wrestling very seriously, and works very hard. The only person who has been at every AEW event this year besides myself is Jon Moxley.”
“He works so hard, he’s a leader in the ring and out of the ring, and I’m so proud that we’ve been able to build this company over seven years and have somebody that’s not only been a face of AEW and represent so many great things about the company, and so many of the greatest events and moments involve Jon Moxley. He’s a fantastic person, and I’m glad people see what a tremendous year he’s having.” [H/T: Wrestletalk]
Moxley’s year was not without struggles. After losing the AEW World Championship to Hangman Page, his career hit a rocky phase, with several back-to-back losses testing his momentum. However, he found redemption toward the end of the year.
At AEW Worlds End, Moxley redeemed himself by defeating Kazuchika Okada in the finals to capture the Continental Championship. The victory capped off a strong comeback and further cemented his status as one of important stars’ of the company.
