Jox Moxley, who went under the name Dean Ambrose in WWE, finally left the company earlier this year as he felt suffocated in the company due to its restrictive nature of creative writing. Moxley is now free to work in AEW and NJPW, as he pleases.
Mox recently spoke to New Japan’s website where he explained how he felt making a return to real professional wrestling. He said that it was like an acid trip as he was used to his old way of thinking, but now he is quickly getting used to his new mindset as well.
“The whole experience was great. I’ve been watching NJPW, and New Japan is professional wrestling. I love professional wrestling and I feel for a few years that I had been relegated to being an entertainer. So I was excited to just go in, no pre-conceived notions, no baggage of thinking about who this new Jon Moxley is. Just going out and seeing what happened.”
“It was all like an acid trip to be honest. With the jet lag, the new environment, the new fans, this friend I used to have now being a guy I’m fighting, this new gear that makes me feel naked… it was just madness. But I started to feel my groove. I started to get in the zone, and that felt really good.”
Moxley is much more experienced now than he was before. Even if he is older, he can certainly bring the edge in his matches, which will be reminiscent of his days in CZW where he competed in death matches.
