Jon Moxley Sued Over Alleged Assault During AEW Match
Jon Moxley, the AEW World Champion, is being sued by former AEW production crew member Christopher Dispensa over an alleged assault during a steel cage match on May 10, 2023.
The incident occurred when Dispensa was holding a screwdriver for Moxley to use during the match, but Moxley allegedly deviated from the script and violently shoved Dispensa to the ground.
Dispensa claims he suffered extensive injuries, including cervical spine surgery and shoulder surgery, as a result of the alleged assault.
The lawsuit, filed in Wayne County Circuit Court in Michigan, seeks unspecified monetary damages exceeding $25,000.
The lawsuit alleges that Moxley had a history of disciplinary issues before the incident, including a documented history of unpredictability, which was known to AEW.
This history of disciplinary issues could impact Moxley's career and reputation as a professional wrestler.
The lawsuit also claims that AEW was negligent in hiring, training, and supervising Moxley, which could have consequences for the organization.
The outcome of the lawsuit is uncertain, but it could have significant implications for Moxley and AEW.
The incident has sparked debate about the safety and well-being of crew members and wrestlers in professional wrestling.
As the lawsuit progresses, more information may come to light about the incident and its aftermath.
The AEW World Champion title, currently held by Moxley, could be affected by the outcome of the lawsuit.
Dispensa's lawsuit against Moxley and AEW is a significant development in the world of professional wrestling, with potential consequences for all parties involved.
