Kevin Nash, a WWE Hall of Famer, recently highlighted two prominent wrestlers who could potentially end Jon Moxley’s AEW World Title reign. Nash singled out Hangman Adam Page and Darby Allin as prime contenders, while also discussing what might happen to the championship if Moxley loses it. Since capturing the title in October 2024, Moxley has remained a dominant force, aided by The Death Riders.
Moxley is scheduled to defend his championship against Hangman Adam Page in a Texas Death Match at All In 2025. Nash believes that beyond Page, Darby Allin stands out as another credible threat to dethrone Moxley, who was formerly known as Dean Ambrose.
During an episode of the Kliq This podcast, Nash predicted that either Hangman Adam Page or Darby Allin could claim the AEW World Title from Moxley. He also proposed that whoever wins the championship should have a lengthy reign, suggesting a defended title for five years.
“I am just worried about when is Dean Ambrose going to defend his title? [Do you know how long Jon Moxley has been champion? Nash’s co-host Sean Oliver asked.] I think a year,” Nash answered. “So what would you do? [Whoever comes after Moxley would have to be champion for I would say a year.] I think five, five years,” Nash said. “And I’m thinking Hangman or Darby Allin,” the Hall of Famer concluded.
