>>14406729>He's forgetting that Tony doesn't have booking control over who wins the IWGP belt.If New Japan had wanted to book Moxley in a 20 second squash match, Tony could have vetoed that even if Mox agreed to it. Moxley was put in the IWGP match to win the title; if the plan was for the AEW representative to lose, they could have slotted in Kingston, Claudio or someone else who doesn't mind eating losses.
In other words, what you're saying is bass ackwards - Tony has control over when his stars win/lose in non-AEW promotions and wouldn't have sent Moxley if he wasn't winning the title.
>>14406756He's pointing out that Samoa Joe is a jobber and Moxley is a 3-time AEW champion and face of the company who hasn't even hinted at going for a 4th AEW title reign.
