Jon Moxley: Even If I Win IWGP World Heavyweight Title, I’ll Still Be Overlooked And Disrespected

Jon Moxley believes he’ll continue to be overlooked, even if he wins the IWGP World Heavyweight Title. 

Jon Moxley is set to challenge Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP World Heavyweight Title at NJPW Windy City Riot on April 12. If he wins, he’ll be the first person to hold the World Title in AEW, WWE, and NJPW. 

Speaking on Road To, Moxley said even if he wins, he believes he’ll be overlooked. 

“Shots at the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship don’t come around every day. Even if I win, it’s not going to matter. I’ll be the most overlooked, disrespected, forgotten about, taken for granted wrestler in the history of this business. It’s not going to matter, but it means something to me,” he stated. “I’ve been doing this since I was 19. Since the first championship I ever won. I see the mountain, I climb the mountain. Everybody standing next to me looks up and says it’s too high. ‘You’re not going to do that, you can’t do that.’ I say, ‘Watch me.’ Then, I find a higher one, and I climb that. Then, I find a higher one, and I climb that, and a higher one. Now, I’m about to do something that nobody in the history of pro wrestling has ever done.”
