As AEW's first pay-per-view went off the air and thousands of fans lined up 'OMG' tweets on social media, Jon Moxley didn't have a clue what to do. He was still standing on the prop poker chips AEW used for Double Or Nothing's stage, and nobody told him when the cameras had faded to black.

So, Moxley sorta' stood there like an idiot not knowing what to do.

He told 25YL that eventually he climbed down and, against security's wishes, performed a victory lap around the arena high-fiving fans. Jon described it as celebrating with "12,000 teammates", and said he felt a common bond with everyone who had invested in All Elite's first big show.

The victory lap wasn't shown on the pay-per-view broadcast, and it didn't endear Moxley to staff inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena. They wanted to start filing fans out of the venue, only to see the surprise star of the show whip everyone into a frenzy all over again.
