"Fragile ego, fragile body, weak mind, weak spirit"

[AEW is in Chicago, home town of CM Punk. On the previous week's edition, in Cleveland, Jon Moxley defeated Punk in 3:10 in a title unification match. Now Moxley stands in the ring, microphone in hand, as the crowd chants 'CM Punk']

Jon Moxley: "Chicago, I know that you love your boy, but I think they're still mopping him up off the mat in Cleveland. But hey, you wanna talk about it? Let's talk about it. I once heard CM Punk described years ago as the modern sixty-minute man. What a load of crap that turned out to be, huh? I mean, I had fifty-seven minutes left in me last week, Punk - did you? I don't think so. See, when guys get in the ring with me - the undisputed AEW World Champion, the heart and soul of AEW - we find out what they're really made of. I test them. I push them. And last week we learned exactly what CM Punk is made of. At the moment where he hit me as hard as he could, he gave me his best shots and he realized...I didn't care. And he knew I was just gonna keep coming forward, and keep coming forward all night. At that exact moment, he started looking for a way out. It's true. I'm sorry. He started looking for a way out. 'Ohhh, my foot hurt!' He FOLDED! And he curled up into a little ball to die, and he FOLDED!

Champions never fold. Look, you have no idea how genuinely sorry I am that CM Punk just didn't turn out to be what you wanted him to be. He didn't turn out to be what any of us wanted him to be, when we welcomed him back into this business, gave him a second chance in the greatest sport in the world. It just. Didn't. Work out. And while I am truly sorry for that - I know he's your boy, I know he's from Chicago and you love him - I have zero sympathy for CM Punk. And that is because CM Punk: Fragile ego, fragile body, weak mind, weak spirit.

It's a tough business, dude, sorry, it is what it is. And we move on. I have here in my pocket an open contract for a title match at All Out, this Sunday. It's already signed and I'm just gonna leave it right here. Because when I say 'anybody, anytime, any place', I MEAN IT. [Moxley has taken a 'contract' out of his pocket and now drops it on the mat] So who knows who's gonna sign that contract? Who knows who I'm gonna face at All Out? Maybe it's somebody in AEW, maybe it's somewhere from some place- somebody from somewhere else. Maybe it's somebody from New Japan, here in Chicago again. I run that show too, hey Rocky, you got anybody else left? Rock, let me know.[see Note 1] Whoever it is that signs that contract, whoever wants to find out exactly what they're made of, just remember this before you step into the ring with Jon Moxley: I can out-marathon you, I can out-sprint you. I can outfight you, I can out-wrestle you. And whoever you are, I assure you, I give far fewer you-know-whats than you do. I am not just the undisputed AEW World Champion, I am the fire-breathing, blood-spitting, living embodiment of the sport of professional wrestling. I AM INDOMITABLE WILL PERSONIFIED! Wrestling Jon Moxley may be hazardous to your health. Whoever you are: You've been warned!"

"Rocky" and "Rock" are references to Rocky Romero, who combines his on-camera roles for NJPW with work backstage as a talent liason for the company, acting as a focal point for non-Japanese performers and ventures.
