Jon Moxley Says AEW Has More Drama Than Any Other Wrestling Company He Has Been A Part Of
Moxley has spoken out about the backstage drama and controversies that have plagued the company in recent times. Not only did he address the CM Punk controversy directly, but he also acknowledged the many other examples of tension and conflict among members of the roster.
While speaking on The Sessions with Renee Paquette, Jon Moxley responded began by stating that he had never before made any negative comments about AEW. However, as an observer, he couldn’t help but notice the overwhelming amount of drama that seems to be taking place within the company.
Drawing on his extensive experience in the wrestling industry, including eight years on the independent circuit, a couple of years in WWE developmental, and eight years in WWE, Moxley claimed that he had never seen so much “bulls**t drama in one place” in his entire life.
“I will say this. I hate to say (it). I don’t think I’ve ever said anything even remotely negative about AEW. But I will say this.
“As an observer, it seems like – I spent eight years on the indies, a couple of years in WWE developmental, spent like eight years in WWE – I have never seen so much bullsh*t drama in one place in my entire f*cking life. I hate to say that.
“I don’t know if it’s because the age of social media and st gets blown out of proportion, like one person posts one stupid f*cking drunk tweet and all of a sudden it’s all anybody wants to talk about.
“We’re sitting up here, doing a podcast. You know what we’re not talking about? We’re not talking about the f*cking stellar match Vikingo and Kenny Omega just had. Or all the cool stuff going on in AEW, cool shows happening, we’re not talking about this great pay-per-view we just had. We’re not talking about any of that, we’re talking about some bullsh*t.
“Let me be clear. The vast majority of people there don’t cause any f*cking* trouble or any bulhsh*t. But they’re getting sucked down into this st like everybody else. Into the muck. There’s plenty of people who just wanna get better and perform and f*cking just do this job man, it’s the best job in the world.”
