According to Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer, no one on WWE's roster has refuted any of the claims Jon Moxley's made about the promotion recently.
Since leaving WWE and being confirmed as an AEW star, Moxley has been telling all about his time with the company. The 33-year-old, formerly known as Dean Ambrose, took part in very revealing interviews on the Wade Keller Pro Wrestling Podcast and on the Talk is Jericho podcast in which he took shots at Vince McMahon and made some pretty damning accusations.
Meltzer has since aired his take on Mox's comments. The wrestling cognoscenti shared some backstage information on Tuesday's edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, claiming that while the reactions to the comments have varied in the locker room, no one has accused Moxley of lying or making things up.
“Nobody has said that anything that he said isn’t true," Meltzer revealed (h/t 411Mania). "Like you don’t have guys coming out and going, ‘Oh! He’s exaggerating this!’ Or like, ‘Oh. This didn’t happen. He’s making it up.’ Right? Nobody has said anything like that.”
Meltzer claims that there have been no strong denials where any of Moxley's revelations are concerned, not even among the people who aren't very fond of him and believe that he's a hard man to please.
A previous report from Fightful claimed that several WWE wrestlers and employees were actually in agreement with Moxley's statements on Talk is Jericho and Meltzer's bit seems to corroborate.
He also notes that there are many WWE performers who want to leave WWE for AEW as they realize that good money could be made there, while they will have more creative influences over their own stories and promos.
This is all quite easy to believe, given what we already knew even before Moxley started pointing fingers. Many WWE wrestlers are understood to be unhappy with the status quo and some have even been stopped from leaving.
As Meltzer notes, the next 12 months will be a very interesting period for the industry. Let's see how much AEW can shake things up.
