Summary

Kevin Knight says Jon Moxley is the leading voice in AEW's locker room, while also pointing to Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and Mark Briscoe as veterans who help keep morale up and offer advice to younger talent.

Knight made the comments during a recent interview when asked who fills that leadership role behind the scenes. His answer centered first on Moxley, describing him as the person everyone pays attention to when he speaks.

Quote from Kevin Knight

"There's multiple, I guess. People wear different hats. I would definitely say Jon Moxley is the number one head guy. Everybody, you know, turns ahead and listens to Mox whenever he has something to say because he doesn't have much to say at all. So when he does, you know, you better speak up and listen, and then you have other guys like an Orange Cassidy or like a Roderick Strong, Mark Briscoe when he's there. There's a lot of different people that just keep the morale up and are always, always, always there, giving good advice, helping out the young guys. So those are the people I would say. Moxley, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong."

What Kevin Knight's comments say about Jon Moxley in AEW

Knight putting Jon Moxley at the top of AEW's locker room hierarchy adds another layer to how Moxley is viewed beyond his on-screen role. It suggests AEW's younger names see him as one of the central veteran voices in the company, not just one of its most protected stars.

The timing also stands out for Knight himself. He has stayed in the conversation around AEW's rising names through recent praise from Tony Khan, and comments like these show which established names he sees setting the tone around him.
