Jon Moxley has warned Swerve Strickland that it is “costly” to rise the ranks of pro wrestling ahead of their Continental Classic match.
Strickland and Moxley both have nine points, putting them in joint-first place in the Gold League. The pair will face off on next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
After his match on this week’s edition of Dynamite, AEW’s cameras caught up with Moxley who had some choice words for his upcoming opponent. He said,
“Will next week against Swerve be a hard match? Yeah, hell yeah. But as they say, it’s a shame for the helmsman to be surprised when the wind is unfavorable. This is the Continental Classic baby, it’s supposed to be hard. Swerve Strickland’s got a lot of buzz… he’s cheap. Being at the top of this sport and staying there is another thing entirely and it’s very, very costly. For a guy like you in your position, it’s right about now when you realize that it’s a price you’re not willing to pay.
“Are you going to be the guy who takes me out? Whatever will be, will be. Next week, Swerve Strickland, Jon Moxley, and the ghosts and demons that always chase me to the ring. This is gonna be something you’ve never attempted to do before, and it’s gonna be a long night, so I suggest you pack a lunch.”
Next week’s episode of AEW Dynamite will also see RUSH vs. Jay Lethal though after three losses, it is a mathematical impossibility for Lethal to win the Gold League.
