Jon Moxley has been very vocal about the lack of creative control in WWE since leaving the company and his Talk Is Jericho interview is just one example of it.
The former WWE Champion recently had an interview with State of Combat podcast where he talked about a number of things and explained the level of creative freedom he has in his new home, AEW.
Mox first explained that the creative process in AEW is a collaborative effort and he then went on to reveal that he has full creative control:
“Pretty much it’s a collaborative effort. There are so many great ideas that come in. I’m hearing really good ideas. I have full control in that I am not going to go out there and do anything that makes me look stupid, at least not on purpose, which is a giant weight off of my shoulders,”
The former Dean Ambrose went on to explain that there are no higher-ups they have to make sure to please in AEW and instead there are super creative guys who don’t give a damn about what anyone thinks and they have no fear of reprisals.
Apart from this Jon Moxley also talked about his Full Gear lights out match with Kenny Omega which many believed was too violent for mainstream wrestling.
The former Champion said that he was thrilled with the bout and he recalled thinking how far they were going to take it, the night before the event.
