Former AEW coach criticizes Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin spot at AEW WrestleDream

  • Ian Carey

Former AEW coach Sarah Stock has criticized a spot from the Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin I Quit match at AEW WrestleDream.

Stock, who departed AEW in April, took issue with Moxley shoving Allin’s head into an aquarium filled with water on Saturday’s pay-per-view, saying it could lead to kids trying to mimic the move.

AEW posted a clip of the spot along with the caption, “SOMEBODY STOP THIS!”

Stock responded to the post:

“You know who should stop this? Mothers. With their remote control. This is worse than the plastic bag over the head. Kids are going to end up dead trying this stuff at home.”

Fightful Select reported in April that Stock was no longer with AEW, although the nature of her departure was not revealed. It was reported that she had raised issues regarding AEW’s “mental health program and department being shifted,” but it was unclear if this was related to her leaving the company.

Stock first joined AEW as a coach in 2023 after having worked in a similar role for WWE from 2015 until being released at the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic in 2020.
