Former WWE Champion, Dean Ambrose was a huge name before he made a shift to AEW. Now known as Jon Moxley, Ambrose has always slammed his former company. In a recent interview, the wrestler criticised WWE for their “stupid scripts” and admitted he was “lying” to the fans.

Speaking to Still Real To Us, Ambrose said, “I had to do these stupid scripts. I’d have to say stuff like, ‘I’m going to eviscerate your skull at Hell In A Cell!’ It’s like, no…I’m not. I know I’m not,” he said.

The WWE is currently undergoing the “PG Era” and according to their norms, the violence levels has been reduced to make the fights more “kid-friendly”. 

“I know that there’s not going to be any blood. I’m lying. I’m lying to the fans. I’m selling this violence that’s just not going to happen,” Ambrose said.

Moxley, earlier this year, fought in AEW against Joey Janela and went on to praise the Tony Khan-led industry for giving him the freedom to showcase his creativity.

“I told [management], ‘You realise, just by putting my name with Joey’s together, you’ve created an expectation for insanity. Anything less than balls-out would be a disappointment, and I’m not going to be in the business of disappointing fans any more,” he said.

“I haven’t had to shoot down any bad ideas from anybody, which is great. ‘Cause, you know. I used to go to TV, and it’s like starting in a hole. I’d think, ‘How bad is it? Oh God, maybe if we could make this crap passable, it would be a victory.’ Everything so far is great,” he added.

Moxley even praised AEW and said that there is no need of producers or writers because everyone knows what they are doing.

“It’s almost too good to be true. But, it’s so simple. We’ve got, no pun intended, some of the most elite wrestlers in the world. All guys who are veterans, in their primes with huge fanbases. They understand their fanbases. We know what’s good, and what’s not. We don’t need writers or producers, or anything like that. We know what we are doing. You’ve got myself, Jericho, Kenny, Cody, The Bucks, PAC, and Spears. We’re all at the top. If we wanted to be in WWE right now we could, and make huge money. Anyone of us. We’re all actively choosing to do this, instead,” he said.
