AEW: Jon Moxley says WWE ‘made me walk away from all this money’
- The former WWE champion says he was bitter about his exit, not excited
- ‘Can you not just write one good storyline? Does everything have to make me look like an idiot?’
Jon Moxley got a lot off his chest when he left WWE for AEW. And now he’s launched another verbal barrage at his former employers.
Speaking at the Starrcast IV wrestling convention in Baltimore last week ahead of AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view, Moxley vented about the frustrations he experienced during his final year in the company after coming back from injury.
“The whole time from when I came back to about the beginning of the year, I knew I was leaving. But I was p***** about it. I wasn't excited to leave, I was bitter about it,” he said.
“I can't believe that they're going to make me leave. I can't believe they're going to make me walk away from all this money.”
Then wrestling as Dean Ambrose as part of The Shield, the former WWE champion opted not to sign a new contract earlier this year and walked away in April when his deal expired, becoming the first big name acquisition to join AEW from WWE.
