In an exciting twist for wrestling fans, former WWE superstar and current AEW icon Jon Moxley has shared his thoughts about the upcoming WWE Backlash 2025 event. Despite being away from WWE for years, Moxley remains deeply respected in the pro wrestling world, and his opinions always create buzz.
During a recent podcast interview, Moxley was asked whether he follows any WWE events. To everyone’s surprise, he answered, “I don’t watch every show, but when something major is coming up, I do pay attention. WWE Backlash is definitely one of those shows. It’s gonna be intense, violent, and unforgettable.”
According to Moxley, Backlash is no longer just a regular pay-per-view. It has become one of WWE’s biggest nights for rivalries, brutal matches, and shocking surprises. “WWE knows how to use that stage,” he said. “They’ve got the stories, the talent, and the platform. When those things come together, magic happens.”
Moxley especially praised the current top stars like Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns. He said, “These guys are the backbone of WWE right now. They know how to build real emotion and leave everything in that ring. I might not work with them anymore, but I’ll always respect what they do.”
He also had positive words for the newer generation of superstars. “There are some guys now—Gunther, Bron Breakker, and Logan Paul—who are really making waves. They’re bold, aggressive, and hungry. That’s what WWE needs. I think Backlash is going to be a war between the experienced veterans and the rising stars.”
One of the most important things Moxley mentioned was the role of the live audience. “When the fans are fired up, everything feels bigger. Backlash always brings out loud crowds, and that makes every moment more powerful,” he explained. “It’s not just the wrestlers who make the show—it’s the energy from the fans too.”
Though Jon Moxley is now a full-time AEW competitor, he still has a strong connection with wrestling fans around the world, including WWE fans. His comments sparked excitement online, with many fans discussing his predictions and sharing clips from his interview.
WWE Backlash is known for its chaos—returns, betrayals, and unexpected finishes. With superstars like Rhea Ripley, Drew McIntyre, LA Knight, and others rumored to have major matches, the card is already shaping up to be massive.
Moxley’s words have only added fuel to the fire. Whether you’re a WWE loyalist or an AEW follower, everyone is now curious to see if his predictions come true.
As the countdown to Backlash 2025 begins, one thing is for sure—fans are in for a wild night, full of passion, pain, and unforgettable action. And as Moxley put it himself:
“It’s gonna be a war zone—and I’d love to watch it.”
