In a recent interview with The Messenger, All Elite Wrestling star Jon Moxley discussed several topics, including initial plans for his post-WWE career prior to the creation of All Elite Wrestling.

“The timing of it was crazy, I was gone one way or another, I was going to give it all up, I didn’t give a f*** if I was never on TV again, I’d go wrestle in a f***ing mask in Mexico in a parking lot if it means having fun again.

I hate speaking in the third person, because it feels so f***ing pretentious, but speaking from a character standpoint, it just makes it easier, but it was like as Jon Moxley was getting his release date from jail and walking into the world again, it just happened to be when AEW was starting.

If there was no AEW, I think I’d be doing the exact same thing, just in a bunch of other places, you’d probably see me in f***ing Japan, or REVOLVER, places like that, it probably wouldn’t be that much different. As far as the opportunities for the wrestlers and their families, it’s an entirely different world now than it was 4 or 5 years ago, so much has changed, it’s crazy.”
