Jon Moxley’s presence in AEW is undeniable — and it goes far beyond just what happens inside the ring. While fans know him as a four-time AEW World Champion and the intense leader of The Death Riders, Moxley has also become an influential figure behind the scenes, particularly when it comes to guiding AEW’s rising stars — including one of its breakout women’s division standouts, Harley Cameron.
As AEW gears up for its return to Australia with Grand Slam on February 14, Cameron is preparing for one of the biggest matches of her career. But thanks to Moxley and others offering support and mentorship, she’s rising to the challenge with confidence and gratitude.
Jon Moxley: AEW’s Ace On and Off the Screen
Since debuting at Double or Nothing 2019, Jon Moxley has done it all in AEW. He’s a four-time AEW World Champion, the 2025 Continental Classic winner, and a trusted go-to figure during major company transitions — especially during times of crisis, like Brawl Out in 2022. But his biggest contributions may now be happening backstage, where he’s helping shape the next generation of AEW talent.
One of the talents benefiting from Moxley’s wisdom is Harley Cameron, who has quickly carved out a name for herself in the company’s women’s division.
Harley Cameron Opens Up About Moxley’s Mentorship
In a recent interview with 107.7 The Bone, Harley Cameron spoke about her journey in AEW and the support she’s received along the way — particularly from Moxley.
“God, Jon Moxley, he’s another one. He’s shown me a lot of guidance this year,” she said, crediting him as a key influence in her development.
Though still relatively new to in-ring competition, Cameron has been making waves with her unique charisma, in-ring presence, and creativity. She’s already achieved a major milestone by becoming one half of AEW’s first-ever Women’s World Tag Team Champions, currently holding the titles alongside Willow Nightingale.
But Cameron knows there’s always room for growth, and she praised the family-like environment AEW fosters behind the scenes.
“There’s this beautiful family we have at All Elite Wrestling. The help is there if you ask for it.”
She also credited Nigel McGuinness and Orange Cassidy for taking time to train with her before shows, emphasizing just how invested AEW’s veterans are in helping talent succeed.
Cameron Set for Title Defense at Grand Slam Australia
The next big challenge for Cameron and Nightingale comes on February 14, when AEW heads to Australia for Grand Slam. On that show, they’ll defend the Women’s World Tag Team Championships against the team of Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford — a match that promises to be physical, fast-paced, and unpredictable.
Returning to her home country for this bout, Cameron will not only be defending her title but also performing in front of an Australian crowd for the first time as champion, making the moment even more special.
The Bigger Picture: AEW’s Mentorship Culture
AEW’s commitment to developing talent through mentorship continues to set it apart. With experienced stars like Moxley, Nigel McGuinness, and QT Marshall offering guidance, talents like Cameron aren’t just handed TV time — they’re being molded into well-rounded performers with strong fundamentals and long-term potential.
Moxley’s work behind the scenes speaks volumes about his dedication to AEW’s future. Whether he’s leading on-screen in violent brawls or quietly coaching backstage, he remains one of AEW’s most respected and reliable figures — a true locker room leader.
With stars like Harley Cameron embracing every learning opportunity and veterans like Jon Moxley offering guidance, AEW’s future — especially its women’s division — looks brighter than ever. And as Grand Slam: Australia approaches, fans will get to see firsthand the impact of that hard work and mentorship in action.
