The surprise moment, captured in a short clip, instantly went viral, highlighting the AEW star’s playful side while supporting ALS awareness.

What happened?

In the Instagram post, Paquette was quietly reading a book when Moxley crept up behind her, lifted the bucket, and poured the icy water over her head.

The video was part of a broader ALS fundraiser, with Paquette nominating several AEW personalities, including Tony Schiavone and Paul Wight, to keep the challenge rolling.

Why it matters for Jon Moxley

Moxley’s involvement adds a personal touch to the ALS campaign, linking his high‑profile AEW persona to a charitable cause.

The stunt also showcases Moxley’s willingness to engage fans beyond the ring, strengthening his brand as both a fierce competitor and a relatable figure.

How the challenge spreads awareness

The Ice Bucket Challenge, revived this year, encourages participants to nominate others, creating a chain reaction across social media.
