Mick Foley has picked who he believes are the two most valuable stars in the business today.
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley has named one star from AEW and one star from WWE as the most valuable male performers in wrestling at this moment in time.
Speaking on his Foley is Pod podcast, The Hardcore Legend revealed AEW’s Jon Moxley as his number one pick, whilst he was full of praise for WWE’s Seth Rollins whom he named as number two:
“I really like Seth,” Foley said. “To me, he is my second pick, second most valuable player in the business… male performer. I would go with Moxley as my first.”
The two former Shield members alongside WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns have each had an impressive year thus far. Rollins has undergone somewhat of a resurgence in 2022 and his clashes with the returning Cody Rhodes were well received by many. Likewise, his current feud with Matt Riddle has gained numerous plaudits and looks set to continue.
Mick Foley added:
“He [Rollins] has had an amazing year, he reinvented himself. Going back to Moxley, it’s the idea [of] taking on all comers, looking like a real-world travelling champion. It’s amazing what he’s done. But Seth Rollins, he reinvented this character, which a lot of people were doubting.”
Jon Moxley will look to become a three-time AEW World Champion when he faces off against Bryan Danielson. The two Blackpool Combat Club members will meet in the finals of a tournament to crown a new AEW World Champion on the September 21st episode of Dynamite.
