Jon Moxley is a fan of comic books, and he leaned into this side of himself at NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18.
At NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 18, Jon Moxley came to the ring wearing gear that was clearly inspired by the popular DC character Red Hood. He then faced David Finlay and Will Ospreay in a match for the IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship.
In an interview with Christian Hoffer of ComicBook.com, Jon Moxley was asked about the gear. He noted that he was not sure whose idea, and he was talked into it. However, he also made it clear that he is a fan of comics.
“I’m not sure whose idea that was,” Jon Moxley said. “But I like the pageantry sometimes, especially big shows and big fights and stuff like that. I keep it pretty simple, so usually, it’s not really my thing. But sometimes, well, I want to have some fun too. Everybody else gets to wear these ridiculous outfits and I want to dress like Liberace and come to the ring at least one time.”
Moxley is set to return to AEW on the January 20 episode of AEW Collision.
