After getting injured during a match on 'AEW Dynamite' last month, Jon Moxley has an idea for how to better protect pro wrestlers.

I like the addition of having a wrestler nearby to explain if something is normal.

It’s gotta be easier for a place like Impact, because they tape their shows. I suppose for live tv the answer might be to have an extra match on deck if an injury happens early in the show. If all goes to plan, then that match happens the next show. If something happens in the main event and there’s tv time remaining, send out a good talker. Was it when Hangman got concussed that MJF came out with a mic to talk to Mox? I thought that was a good way to handle that.

Mox is right that wrestlers are weird about it though. So many want to try and finish matches no matter what. It’d be a huge change for wrestlers with that mentality. Some fans would struggle with it too. But something has to change, for sure.
