Writing in his book, MOX, the AEW star reflected on his untelevised main-roster matches before The Shield formed in 2012. During that time, he learned via Seth Rollins that he had a bad reputation due to something he said while he was concussed.
Jon Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose, joined WWE’s Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) developmental system in April 2011.
He faced over a dozen main-roster superstars in dark matches in 2011 and 2012, including Daniel Bryan, Drew McIntyre and Zack Ryder.
Rumors about Jon Moxley spread in the WWE locker room
Jon Moxley added that his backstage confrontation with the unnamed opponent was blown out of proportion by other WWE Superstars.
The former Shield member understood why he received a bad reputation, even though he could not remember what happened.
Moxley was not the only up-and-coming superstar whose attitude was questioned at the time. The former AEW World Champion said Seth Rollins was often accused of being “cocky” by co-workers before he joined the main roster.
AEW President Tony Khan announced this week that Jon Moxley is entering an inpatient alcohol program. Sportskeeda Wrestling wishes Moxley all the best at this time.
