When Moxley left for AEW, Renee continued working for WWE and even got bumped up to a commentator role on Raw. There was never any animosity because of Moxley’s deflection. Speaking to Cassie Lee on Oral Sessions, whose husband, the former Tye Dillinger is an AEW talent, she narrated an incident from the time Jon Moxley suffered an injury in New Japan.
“Even when Jon left, there was times that Hunter pulled me aside because Jon was injured when he came back from New Japan. Hunter kept checking in to make sure that Jon was okay. If he needed anything, they would have been able to help him in any kind of capacity.”
“So it was nice to know that, that olive branch was still extended, and it wasn’t that heat-seeking thing that everybody thinks that it is. We’ve all spent so much time together and nothing bad went down.”
What was Moxley’s injury like?

Along the way, he beat several New Japan greats. The list includes current IWGP World Champion Shingo Takagi, former double champion Tetsuya Naito and Tomohiro Ishii. Unfortunately, he suffered a crippling MRSA staph infection in his elbow. Because of this, he pulled out of his gigantic AEW All Out match with Kenny Omega.
I'm absolutely gutted to have to deliver this news but I'd rather it come directly from me. In a nightmare scenario, a serious case of MRSA has returned in my elbow. The timing couldn't be worse. In this circumstance I am forced to pull out of the fight 8/31 vs Omega at All Out .

It is awfully touching that Triple H offered to help Moxley, even after his exit from the company. His career has only sky-rocketed post his release, and he won Pro Wrestling Illustrated’s Best Wrestler of 2020 award. But the Triple H’s kindness proved that the rivalry between AEW and WWE isn’t as dramatic as it seems.
