Jon Moxley wanted to do more Hardcore stuff in WWE

Jon Moxley detailed what he was told by higher-ups in WWE including Vince McMahon when he asked to do more hardcore stuff in a recent interview.

“Literally, like ‘No!’ I mean [WWE] is literally telling me what to do, barking orders at me. [McMahon voice] ‘Sell! ‘Lay down!’ It really, truly feels like I was asleep, mentally checked out, for like years. Like, I became a lapsed fan,” admitted Moxley. “I’d be watching the product that I’m a part of in the locker room and going, ‘This show sucks.’ I became a lapsed fan, so I know they exist and it really was like there was this completely separate guy that existed who got outta prison and it’s just like I woke up and it was crazy. I just feel like a better person all around – just back to being me, in and out of the ring, not necessarily just the character.”
