In 2021, resolving a tale of redemption unparalleled in its intricacy, he, with enormous dramatic symmetry, will kick out of the One-Winged Angel to put over his grand triumph. In 2020, he lost his support network in the Elite.
In 2019, he lost the biggest match of his career to Chris Jericho. The event has twice shattered Hangman Adam Page, AEW's long-long-term Ace project. That day will end at AEW All Out 2021 - as will Kenny Omega's World Title reign. The One-Winged Angel was protected for another day. In the shocker of the year, Omega orchestrated a cross-platform Screwjob all the more effective for AEW's well-established anti-f*ck finish policy. Could he have kicked out of Omega's One-Winged Angel, a move so well-protected that only one man - Kota Ibushi - has achieved the feat? Mox had to lose convincingly for the result to hold any weight. When the date loomed - Kenny Omega was the man best positioned to dethrone him - the exact nature of the Winter Is Coming finish was widely debated.
The theme was from One Winged Angel and it rang out from within Igor Stravinsky's 1913 ballet. While listening to the musical samples for my Music Appreciation class, a familiar theme rose up through the noise (The chapter is on modernism, so yes, I'll call it noise). Nobody ever put the dreaded "Super" prefix in front of his good name. One Winged Angel from FFVII appears to be based on a theme from a 1913 ballet. Jon Moxley was such an awesome AEW World Champion: a babyface so aspirational, well-liked and convincing that you didn't want him to lose the gold.
