Downs...

4. Dumb Babyface

AEW Collision Don Callis Jon Moxley
AEW

This is the sort of thing so often synonymous with WWE over the years, but AEW Collision opened with Jon Moxley being a dumb, naive, idiotic babyface.

The Moxley character has always been shown to be smarter than the average bear when it comes to outsmarting the heels of the day and seeing what the audience could all see coming a mile off. In Collision's opening minutes, though, Mox was made to look like a total fool.

Anybody with even a passing interest in pro wrestling was well aware that Don Callis' in-ring interaction with Moxley was simply a set-up for the Blackpool Combat Club man to be attacked by Konosuke Takeshita. From what we've seen from Moxley during his AEW run, he's the sort of badass babyface who is always aware of such ploys.

Rarely in AEW has Jon Moxley been made to look like a moron, but he absolutely was here.
