Wheeler Yuta says he’s taking the “Yuta Scale” memes as a compliment. After Yuta bled heavily during his 2022 AEW Rampage match against Jon Moxley, fans online joked that the AEW star should have a blood-measurement scale named after him, similar to the long-running “Muta Scale” that fans use to rate the amount of blood in a wrestling match, named for the legendary Great Muta.
Speaking on Fightful Overbooked’s In The Weeds podcast, Yuta addressed the memes directly, saying it is “incredibly flattering to be mentioned in the same breath as the Great Muta.” The comment underscores how the viral moment from the Moxley match has stuck with fans years later.
The original Rampage bout between Yuta and Moxley became known for the sheer amount of blood shed during the contest, prompting fans to revive discussion of the Muta Scale and propose Yuta as a modern namesake for especially bloody matches.
Both Fightful and 411Mania reported on Yuta’s comments, with Fightful publishing the full quote from the In The Weeds podcast appearance.
