In the history of All Elite Wrestling, there has never been a World Champion like Jon Moxley, and there may never be another like him again.

He’s held the AEW World Title twice now, having beaten Kenny Omega at Double or Nothing to win it for the first time and then immediately dropping it to Chris Jericho after pinning him at Fight for the Fallen.
