Bengaluru, May 30: There is a lot going on around the pro-wrestling industry with the headliner being a heated beef between World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) promotion.
The two promos have entered a so-called war as the new company is here to ruin the day for the world’s largest wrestling promotion. Their first pay-per-view event named Double or Nothing was a huge success as it witnessed a significant end where former WWE Champion Dean Ambrose joined their roster as Jon Moxley.
With that recruitment, AEW has snatched one of the most popular characters created by the WWE and it was a massive statement by the new promo. Now the former hardcore veteran Jon Moxley has sent the fans into a frenzy by taking shots at his previous employers, especially Vince McMahon who according to Moxley is killing 'wrestling aspects’ in the WWE.
Jon Moxley f.k.a Dean Ambrose sat down for an interview with Chris Jericho in his Talk is Jericho podcast to spit out fire. He spoke in-depth about the creative problem in the company alongside the fact that they do not let the stars to wrestle freely. Additionally, they don’t allow talents to cut promos on their own, over-script those and ultimately try to suppress the original characteristics of that particular superstar.

"They take wrestling away from you. Wrestling is my first love and my only love besides my wife. It's the thing I'm most passionate about, I love it. I feel like I got it back finally. Since I was a little kid, I was always watching tapes, always thinking of promos. I wanted to watch all the wrestling, I loved pacing around the house thinking of promos, waking up in the middle of the night and just thinking of a cool line or a way to tell the story of a match.
Promos used to be my favorite part of wrestling. I loved it! They ended up becoming my least favorite part, the part I dread. Because now it's not me coming up with ideas and coming up with ways for me to hook you into our story, it means me trying not to look like an idiot... Sitting down with a writer, that is not how it is supposed to be!"
The Lunatic Fringe of the WWE recollected how things went out of hands for him. He was out of action for over six months after suffering a shoulder injury back in December 2017. He was nearing a return in 2018 summer and wanted to go full-villain just because he wanted to do something different. It was a fact that the babyface Dean Ambrose character had already become stale as WWE treated him only as a helping hand for his Shield brethren, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
