How AEW Could Turn Jon Moxley Into Its Most Hated Villain, According to Bully Ray

One Big Thing

WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray proposes a controversial storyline involving Jon Moxley and his real-life wife Renee Paquette to create genuine heel heat in AEW.

Why It Matters

AEW’s current storyline with the Blackpool Combat Club needs a compelling antagonist, and this proposal could transform Moxley from an anti-hero to a truly despised villain, potentially creating one of wrestling’s most personal feuds.

By the Numbers

• Moxley has been with AEW since 2019
• His wife, Renee Paquette, joined AEW in 2022
• The Moxley-Kingston rivalry dates back to 2020

Key Details

• Bully Ray suggests using Renee Paquette as a catalyst in the Moxley-Kingston feud
• The storyline would involve Paquette questioning Moxley’s recent actions and associations
• Physical implications would be teased but not crossed
• Eddie Kingston would emerge as the hero defending Paquette

Direct Quote

“If you wanted to bring this to the edge, obviously Moxley verbally shuts her down. But if Renee puts her hands on Jon, and Jon swats her hand away… Could you imagine how much people would dislike Moxley for talking down to his wife?” – Bully Ray on Busted Open Radio

The Bottom Line

While controversial, this storyline could create the kind of genuine heat that’s increasingly rare in modern professional wrestling, potentially elevating both Moxley as a heel and Kingston as a face.
