AEW star and Cincinnati native Jon Moxley shared some vivid insights into the intense atmosphere fans can expect at this week’s AEW Dynamite and Collision events, which will be taped at his hometown’s Brady Music Center.
In a recent interview promoting the shows, Moxley described the wrestling energy at the venue by likening it to a hot pocket heated in the microwave for too long—where the pressure builds up and everything bursts out explosively. He said, "It’s like a hot pocket in the microwave for three or four minutes, maybe too long—the heat and pressure cause it to explode everywhere. That’s exactly what happens at Brady Center on tap for tomorrow and Thursday."
He further described how the Brady Center transforms into a "gladiator arena," generating an extremely intense environment for wrestling. Moxley also expressed pride in performing in Cincinnati, promising to always bring extra energy and effort for the hometown crowd.
"I’m very proud to be from Cincinnati and excited to perform here," he said. "We take personal pride in this place, so we always bring a little extra energy and momentum when we come back."
Moxley is set to compete tonight on AEW Dynamite, going head-to-head against Jetspeed’s Kevin Knight.
Fan Take: This news is a big deal for AEW fans because it highlights not just the action in the ring, but the electric atmosphere Moxley helps create, especially in his hometown. His passion and connection to Cincinnati promise memorable moments that can elevate the excitement and intensity of AEW events, pushing the sport’s popularity even further.
