Jon Moxley’s next World title defense has been announced.
On the 12th March episode of AEW Dynamite, fans were notified about Moxley’s next title match with a new stipulation. While the Revolution 2025 PPV produced some of the best and critically acclaimed matches in a long time, the main event could not live up to the fan’s expectations.
As the commentators called out the controversial finish to the Jon Moxley versus Cope bout from Revolution, Moxley’s next title match was confirmed. Next week, on the 19th March episode of Dynamite, Jon Moxley will again face Cope with his World title on the line, in a ‘Street Fight’ match.
The winner of that match will go on to defend the title against Swerve Strickland at AEW Dynasty. Swerve Strickland had earned a title shot by defeating Ricochet at the Revolution PPV.
Marina Shafir Explains Why She Partnered Up With Jon Moxley
A few weeks ago, during an interview with Chris Jericho on his Talk is Jericho podcast,Marina Shafir opened up on her partnership with Jon Moxley.
“Months before, there was a leak to the dirt sheets. Somebody was leaking shit and we would have those meetings before the show. One of those meetings, it was, ‘Hey, we’re trying to figure out what indie shows we can work with because I know you guys need reps. Let us know if you want help with that,” she said. “I know a lot of you guys need development.’
After the meeting was done, everyone left, and I went up to Mox and was like, ‘I need help. I know I have something, but if I don’t get help with it, it’ll just be wasted. Maybe you can help me.’ We exchanged info and I got connected with Sami Callihan and Matt Farmer, who runs DEFY. I just started doing shows.
After each match, having a skull session and just watching it back and understand what little shifts need to be made. Moments, transitions. ‘Marina, you really need to work on this, for real.’ [Moxley] just started mentoring me and it evolved into where I am now. I’m not a glittery girl. I wish I had the capacity to be sparkly and showboating, but I just want to f**k girls up. That’s why people appreciate me. I have that, ‘Oh shit. This girl is about to get f***ed up.’
Not many girls have that aura about them. I hate that word, but I have to embrace it because that is what, visually, the main thing people saw about me. I can’t help my b**ch face, my big a** shoulders and my ability to take a beating and get back up every time. That’s what was needed for this.
I felt like I was asking the right questions, and I was getting very productive answers for that stuff. Even the little nuances, we would talk about that. I am Mox’s protector because I have a skillset like no other. I’m pretty much prepared for any situation in real life. People try to touch him when we’re walking out. You’re not touching him. People trying to interfere. You’re not touching him. I don’t mind being a bitch. I feel I take orders very well and I get the job done. If I don’t, I’m repenting and I’m trying to do better next time.”
