BREAKING NEWS: Jon Moxley Reveals What to Expect from WWE Backlash – “It’s Gonna Be Fire!”
In a rare and unexpected moment, AEW superstar and former WWE Champion Jon Moxley has shared his thoughts on WWE’s upcoming Backlash event—and his comments have fans buzzing across both wrestling promotions.
During a recent podcast interview, Moxley was asked about the current state of WWE and what he thinks of the hype surrounding WWE Backlash 2025, set to be one of the most anticipated premium live events of the year. Moxley, never one to hold back, didn’t hesitate.
“I’ve been keeping an eye on what they’re doing,” he said. “And I’ll be honest—Backlash looks like it’s gonna be fire. Some of the matchups they’re building? It’s intense.”
While Moxley didn’t reveal specific insider info, he hinted that the energy backstage in WWE right now reminds him of when he was part of The Shield—a time many fans consider the golden era of modern WWE. “There’s a real hunger over there again. You can feel it—even from the outside.”
He praised rising stars like Carmelo Hayes, Gunther, and Bron Breakker, and acknowledged that veterans like Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes are still delivering at a high level. “If they go all in with these guys at Backlash, it’s gonna blow the roof off,” he added.
Though Moxley has firmly planted his flag in AEW, fans were surprised by how openly he discussed WWE’s momentum. Some are even speculating about whether this opens the door to a future return—but Moxley shut that talk down quickly. “Don’t get it twisted. I’m AEW for life. But credit where it’s due—Backlash is gonna be something to see.”
WWE Backlash airs soon, and if Moxley’s instincts are right, fans are in for one unforgettable night.
