Jon Moxley Helps Rejuvenate Former WWE Champion's Wife Career

Jon Moxley has played a crucial role in the success of All Elite Wrestling. The Purveyor of Violence has been a locker room leader, and his influence extends beyond his own matches. Recently, Moxley was credited for rejuvenating the pro-wrestling career of Marina Shafir, the wife of former WWE NXT North American Champion Roderick Strong.

What happened?

Marina Shafir had a difficult time making an impact in the world of pro-wrestling. She had to transition from MMA to the squared circle, which raised several problems for her. However, in 2024, Shafir joined Death Riders, and in just a few weeks, she became an important member of the faction. Fans loved her performance with that gimmick.

Why it matters for Jon Moxley

Speaking on What Happened When with Tony Schiavone, AEW personality Alex Marvez said that Jon Moxley helps to elevate people around him. When Shafir joined the Death Riders, Moxley saw something in her and helped her to improve her performance in the ring. Marvez highlighted how Marina was struggling on the sidelines before joining the Death Riders. However, under Mox's wing, she has flourished rapidly.

"Jon is a different cat," Marvez said. "He's wired a little differently. He talks a little differently, you know, and there's been talk about that. But he does care about this business. He cares about, you know, pro wrestling, and he cares about the people around it."

What comes next?

Jon Moxley has been regularly competing in All Elite Wrestling along with his Death Riders. He has been involved in a feud with The Don Callis Family for the past few weeks in AEW. Next week on Dynamite, the former AEW World Champion will team up with two of the biggest names in pro-wrestling. Moxley will join forces with Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega to take on The Don Callis Family in a trios match. Brian Cage, Hechicero, and Jake Doyle will represent The DCF next week on Dynamite.

Ospreay has officially joined Death Riders, and it will be interesting to see him compete side by side with the leader, Jon Moxley. Moreover, The Ariel Assassin will face Omega at All In for the AEW World Championship. Because Jon Moxley has been a mentor for Ospreay for the past few months, fans will be having their eyes on his role in this high-profile six-man tag team match next week.

Jon Moxley's influence extends beyond his own matches, and his ability to elevate those around him is a testament to his leadership skills. As he continues to compete in AEW, fans will be watching to see how he helps his teammates and opponents alike.
