WWE Hall of Famer addresses a production crew member’s lawsuit against Jon Moxley and AEW

It was reported earlier this week that Christopher Dispensa, a production crew member contracted with AEW since 2019 through Broadcast Service Group, filed a civil lawsuit against AEW and AEW world champion Jon Moxley (Jonathan Good). Dispensa claims that during a cage match between Moxley and Kenny Omega, Moxley unexpectedly shoved him to the ground while grabbing a screwdriver, causing severe neck and shoulder injuries requiring cervical fusion and shoulder surgeries.

While speaking on his podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi gave his thoughts on the lawsuit…

“Why would he be around the ring if he didn’t have a damn camera or anything? What is he producing out there with nothing? Obviously, he knows what the business is. He knows what the wrestlers do, in and out the ring, and if you see us coming, damn it, you better have your eyes ahead on the swivel and move the hell out the way. Otherwise there might have been a spot or something that was going on because he was in the wrong place… That’s what happened when you’re in the way of wrestlers. Get the hell out the way. You’re gonna get hurt. I’ll tell you what, I probably would have done the same thing. He better have a good lawyer because if he’s suing AEW… did he forget who his father is in AEW?…” (quote courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
