Jon Moxley On If He Regrets Not Leaving WWE Sooner, If Renee Young Will Jump To AEW

Based on Jon Moxley's explosive interview with Chris Jericho shortly after leaving WWE, you wonder why he didn't leave the company sooner. He was asked exactly that in an interview with Screen Geek.

"That's an interesting question. I've often thought, and wondered, what would have happened if I left in September of 2015, which was when I signed my last contract with WWE? But at that point I was still kinda like, still trying to do things their way and I just kinda like? It never occurred to me to leave really back then," admitted Moxley. "It felt like I wasn't, like I hadn't completely? I never really bought into their bullsh*t kind of thing, but I like was trying to be optimistic. Like, be grateful for the opportunity and try to make the most of it and, you know, save money and so forth.

"But, I often wonder what would have happened if I had the foresight to just leave back then. I don't know. It could have been worse. It could have been better, but, ultimately, everything's supposed to work out how it's supposed to be. The timing of, like, leaving at just the moment that AEW came into existence and just merging at the same time, that feels like a historical thing that I'm very grateful that it happened. Hopefully, it's historical. We look back in five years and maybe it didn't matter at all. But, you know, we'll find out."

With Moxley married to Renee Young, the question will naturally become if Young will one day jump to AEW. Moxley didn't want to answer for Young but said landing the role with WWE Backstage was huge for her.

"Uh, she's got A LOT of stuff on her plate; a lot of things she wants to do. I mean, you'd have to ask her what all her goals and aspirations are, but she has a lot of them outside the wrestling business," stated Moxley. "Right now she's just like, right now over there she's completely invaluable. She has a lot of great opportunities with FOX which is great for her, you know?

"Her future is in her hands, she can do whatever she wants, and she's? It's good to be her right now. A lot on her plate right now, a lot on her plate. It's very cool, you know?"
