Is it Moxley’s time to take the belt from Jericho?

There’s no denying that the hottest storyline in AEW right now is Jon Moxley challenging Chris Jericho for the AEW Championship.

They’re two of AEW’s biggest stars and come Revolution the two will battle it out. Fans are torn about who they want to see win the championship. Many feel that it’s time Moxley wins the championship, however there are a few who feel Jericho’s reign needs to go a little longer.

So which man will walk away champion come February 29^th?

Jericho has done a great job of being a heel champion. With his massive ego and his new stable The Inner Circle, he’s dominating AEW. Even though he’s a bad guy, there’s AEW fans who love Jericho.

As the inaugural champion, Jericho has brought a lot of prestige to the title. He’s made the title feel important, like it’s something he can’t live without. As champion Jericho has a lot of people clamoring for a title shot.

Right now, the person gunning for Jericho and the championship is Jon Moxley.

Moxley’s career has been red-hot ever since he left WWE. Now that he’s in AEW, he’s being treated like a top star like the fans know he is. Moxley has gained a lot of momentum in recent months, which has fans believing he’ll be the one to dethrone Jericho.

Moxley is super over with the AEW crowd, and he would make a great champion. Yet, many wonder if Revolution is the time for Moxley to win the championship.

There’s the possibility of AEW holding off on Moxley’s title win until Double or Nothing PPV in May. The PPV is significant because it’s where Moxley made his debut and attacked Jericho.

Having Moxley win the title at Double or Nothing would be huge, and it’ll have his and Jericho’s story come full circle. However, the big question is can AEW stretch the Moxley and Jericho feud out for another three months.

AEW could probably continue their feud for a little while longer. However, the major concerns are whether fans will tire of their rivalry.

Moxley has a lot of momentum heading into Revolution, and a win could hurt him. Although, if he were to lose due to interference from the Inner Circle, this will make him gain even more support from the fans. They’ll be behind him one hundred percent as he looks to get revenge on Jericho.

I agree that Moxley winning the title from Jericho at Double or Nothing would be great storytelling. However, personally I feel that Revolution is the right time to put the title on Moxley.

Momentum is on his side and I’m afraid a loss would derail his push. Jericho can easily afford a loss and still be at the top.

Moxley and Jericho’s feud can continue after Mox wins the championship. Jericho can work his way back to the top, and challenge Moxley to a rematch at Double or Nothing.

WWE WrestleMania 34 Charlotte Flair Asuka

Chris king is back with one of the most underrated matches in WrestleMania history–Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka!

We look back at Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka at WWE WrestleMania 34. ‘The Empress of Tomorrow’ put her unprecedented and historic undefeated streak of 914 days on the line against ‘The Queen’s’ SmackDown Women’s Championship.

For years, this was considered a dream match while Asuka dominated the roster in NXT, while Flair won numerous championships on the main roster on both Raw and SmackDown. The Empress made her long-awaited debut on the September 11th episode of Raw and began to tear through the competition.

Asuka outlasted all twenty-nine other women in the historic first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match to challenge for the title of her choosing. At Fastlane, she made her choice.

The WWE Universe was so excited for this match myself included. Both superstars delivered a fantastic performance on the Grandest Stage of Them All executing counter after counter. Asuka showed off some nasty-looking kicks to her opponent, and Flair hit a thunderous Spanish Fly off the top rope. Flair was seconds away from defeat at the hands of The Empress but she locked in Figure Eight and Asuka was forced to tap out.

I can’t even begin to explain how shocked I was at this outcome, as nearly everyone expected The Empress to continue her undefeated streak and walk away with the women’s title. This controversial decision was the downfall of Asuka’s momentum. She would ultimately win the SmackDown Women’s Championship at the 2018 TLC pay-per-view in the triple-threat ladder match.

Fast forward to this year when Asuka has recently returned with her Japanese-inspired persona Kana. Kana is dangerous and ruthless and is heading into a championship with Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 39. The Empress has regained all her momentum and is highly favored to walk away with the Raw Women’s Championship. Let’s hope that Asuka and Belair can tear the house down and deliver an A+ grade match both women are fully capable of.

King: Dominik Mysterio Needs To Do This At WrestleMania

Chris King is here with what WWE should do with Dominik Mysterio at WrestleMania in his long-awaited match against his father Rey Mysterio Jr.

On this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, Rey Mysterio finally snapped and beat some sense into his disrespectful punk-ass kid Dominik. The member of the Judgement Day came out to push his father again for a match on the Grandest Stage of Them All, this time with his mother and sister at ringside. The ungrateful punk told his mom to “Shut Up,” as a father even I wanted to jump through the screen and whoop his ass.

Back in October of last year, Mysterio made the emotional decision to possibly quit the company but, instead, Triple H persuaded the Lucha libre superstar to move over to SmackDown to avoid his son. This came after Dominik shockingly turned on his father at Clash at the Castle. Mysterio did everything he could to refuse his despicable son’s challenge for Mania but, a man can only be pushed so far. Mysterio will be inducted into the 2023 WWE Hall of Fame and I expect Dominik to embarrass his father during his speech to further this personal feud.

Yes, the WWE Universe hates Dominik and wants to see him get the ever-loving crap kicked out of him but, this feud is missing a special ingredient to capitalize on the biggest heat possible. Throughout this feud, Dominik has made mention of the legendary Eddie Guerrero on several occasions going back to the “iconic” 2005 feud.

I know WWE might not want to go this route but, Dominik MUST come out to Eddie Guerrero’s theme at Mania. The disrespectful punk needs to come out in a lowrider to garner nuclear heat. It doesn’t matter if The Judgement Day comes out and causes interference for Dominik to get the win, all that matters is that both superstars get the biggest payoff of this nearly year-long feud. Just imagine the Roman Reigns heat after he defeated The Undertaker and multiply that by ten. Dominik portrays the perfect heel and he truly is the missing ingredient that The Judgement Day needed to grow and evolve into a top faction.
