Jon Moxley has recalled a time he sewed his own nipple back on instead of paying a hefty medical bill.
Moxley is well-known for his hardcore style and is no stranger to finding himself getting cut open during matches. During his appearance on Hey! (EW), RJ City brought up a match in 2010 when Mox was in a match with Jimmy Jacobs. The bout saw the star suffering a uniquely nasty injury when he tore his nipple. According to City, witnesses described the nipple as “just hanging there.”
Recalling the incident, Moxley claimed it wasn’t actually that bad, and he just sewed the nipple back on afterwards. He explained that, at the time, it was a choice between self care and getting hit with a bill he would take years to pay off, so he went for the cheaper option
“No, it wasn’t bad at all. I sewed it right back on. Yeah, it was… Flipping there for a while and like I showed it to everybody and like we had a conversation and then until everybody kind of got over it and then we’re in Canada. So, they said it would take forever at the emergency room and probably cost money I didn’t have.
“Back then, anything I could self fix or go to urgent care and then years later I still be getting bills from stitches I got 10 years ago. I’m pretty sure I took care of them all by now.”
Jon Moxley Not Defending IWGP World Heavyweight Title At AEW Double Or Nothing
At AEW Double or Nothing, Jon Moxley won’t put his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship on the line in his match with Konosuke Takeshita, with the bout instead being labelled an “Eliminator” match.
According to reports, this is because NJPW controls the IWGP title, and with a defence against EVIL already announced for Dominion on June 9th, it is unlikely he can make a defence before that date.
During the same interview, Jon Moxley explained why he can’t stand social media.
