Jon Moxley’s AEW return inspired by controversial film “Romper Stomper,” sparking intrigue and concern

Jon Moxley’s recent return to AEW has caused quite a stir, with fans excited and commentators unsettled by his intense presence. His new character appears to be inspired by the 1992 Australian cult classic film “Romper Stomper,” starring Russell Crowe. This information was revealed by Bryan Alvarez on “Wrestling Observer Live.”

The movie “Romper Stomper” follows a group of Neo-Nazi skinheads in conflict with Vietnamese gangs in their neighborhood. It’s unclear whether Moxley is drawing inspiration from Crowe’s character specifically or from the overall plot of the film. This cinematic influence isn’t new for Moxley, as he previously based his 2022 feud with CM Punk on elements from “Rocky III.”

As the storyline unfolds, fans are eager to see how Moxley’s character will develop and what elements from “Romper Stomper” might be incorporated into his AEW persona. While it’s unlikely that actual Neo-Nazi themes will appear in AEW, the inspiration from the film suggests a potentially dark and confrontational direction for Moxley’s character.
