This is Mox\u2019s second long-form interview and the first he recorded since his AEW surprise debut last Saturday night at \u201cAEW Double or Nothing\u201d in Las Vegas. This is by design a follow-up to his first interview earlier this week with Chris Jericho on his podcast which has been the talk of the pro wrestling industry for several days, so we\u2019re not covering the same territory but instead covering topics he didn\u2019t get to with Jericho.
