After becoming the talk of the professional wrestling world when he joined AEW at Double or Nothing, Jon Moxley took things up to another level when he appeared on Chris Jericho’s Talk is Jericho podcast last week.

While prefacing his comments with how grateful he was for his time in WWE, Moxley got years of frustration off his chest in the 90-plus minute podcast episode. The WWE creative process was his target, with Moxley saying that one of his goals in AEW is to prove that the process WWE uses sucks, is absolutely terrible, and is “killing the company.”

Moxley explained the “goofy crap” WWE would always write for him and how he grew to hate his character. He mentioned a time when he was given a backstage promo by a writer.

Moxley said they weren’t even things someone you would root for would do, they were things an idiot would do.
