WATCH: AEW’s Jon Moxley Lands Surprising Sponsorship Deal
Nothing wrong with an extra check. Wrestlers are in a weird place when it comes to celebrity status. While it is true that they are wrestlers, the top level stars are regularly wrestling in front of a good number of people. At the top level, they are wrestling in front of a national television audience on a regular basis, meaning they are going to be worth something to an advertiser. That is certainly the case with a current star.
AEW’s Jon Moxley appeared at the Forbidden Door media scrum with a case of Athletic Brewing non-alcoholic beer. Moxley mentioned that he was hoping to get a sponsorship from the company. Since then, Athletic Brewing has posted a video to Twitter, showing Moxley at the media scrum and announcing that the two sides had come to terms on a deal. The video ends with Moxley presenting an advertisement for the drink.
It’s quite the surprise. Check out the announcement and ad:

Opinion: That’s one of those things that you do not get to see very often from wrestlers, as they are not often getting endorsement deals. Moxley’s history with alcohol makes the non-alcoholic aspect that much more interesting and maybe it can get some people to stay away from the harder stuff. If nothing else, it is nice to see a wrestler getting this kind of a chance and Moxley is certainly a big enough star to earn it.
