The world of pro wrestling is a complicated one. Fans do not take kindly to some ‘heels’ in WWE as they do too good of a job. The mention of their name itself brings about disdain from corners of the wrestling world. Moreover, their status propels exponentially as wrestling fans love to hate a bona fide star. Typically, WWE pushes these stars to the forefront in order to elevate them. However, that wasn’t the case with a particular superstar. One of the top heels in the company’s past spoke about a disappointing interaction he had with upper management. In an interview, ex-WWE star Dean Ambrose, who now goes by the ring name Jon Moxley in AEW, spoke candidly about an incident. The interaction revolved around Vince McMahon saying something that had hurt Ambrose a lot.

How Moxley was taken for “granted”

Moxley engaged in a conversation with Rick Ucchino of ESPN 1530 radio station. They were discussing his days in WWE and the difference between working with Tony Khan and Vince McMahon. He shared how he is someone Tony Khan relies on. He said, “We take a lot of pride in our work and our work ethic and our standard that we set ourselves to and the way we do a job. To be one of those guys, that’s like, reliable, kind of always there”, showcasing his dependable side and his helpful nature. He then shared how the equation between him and McMahon differed from his dynamic with Khan.

Moxley’s relationship with McMahon

In his book, Dean Ambrose: The Rising Star, Moxley shared his instances with McMahon throughout his career. He shared how McMahon was pivotal in making his debut.
