AEW superstar Jon Moxley had some serious issues with WWE creative back when he was part of the company, and he isn't about to stop telling people.
The man formerly known as Dean Ambrose seems to be having the time of his life working for his new employers and was recently involved in one of the most gruesome matches of recent history, having beaten Kenny Omega in a "Lights Out" match at Full Gear last month.
The fight even got a reaction out of Mox's wife, Renee Young, who took to social media to let us all know that she wasn't all that thrilled. Of course, the wrestler was pretty pleased with himself by the end of the affair, albeit getting his skin broken in more than one region.
Mox met up with Chris Van Vliet recently and would bring up his displeasure with the pitches he was thrown by Vince McMahon and WWE's creative division. He says they were so ridiculous, he thought he was being pranked at times.
The 33-year-old has often claimed that creative and the lack of his own creative freedom was why he left WWE, and he told Chris he couldn't believe he couldn't be handed a single good storyline to get him to stay.
“I was like, ‘I can’t believe they’re gonna make me walk away from all this money!" he said. "'Can’t you write one good f*ckin’ storyline?’
“It just got to the point where I’m like, the stuff I described in the Jericho podcast, ‘oh, now you’ll come out in a hazmat suit,’ it’s just like, ‘this can’t be real. Am I on some kind of reality show? Is this the new WWE Network reality show? Is Vince actually saying these words? Does he actually run a billion-dollar company? This is a joke!”
It's been Quite A Run
We get that Moxley wasn't happy with WWE creative, there have been several bits on that from the time he left. But we can also understand that he will keep getting asked about his grievances with his former paymasters every time he sits down for an interview.
Fortunately, there's a new spin on just about every piece of criticism he throws WWE's way. So why not, right?
