On Vince McMahon and his time in WWE

Moxley told Jericho that he felt brain dead by 2016 itself. However, the final straw was the Rabies Injection promo in Milwaukee. Tired of how his character was being depicted and how little control he had over his character; the WWE Champion decided to run his contract down.
Moxley hoped that AEW’s drive and determination to produce something great would force WWE to change their ways. However, he cast a shadow of a doubt as he believes that ‘Vince will die in the chair’ and never change.
According to Moxley, Vince’s micromanagement and creative process is ruining WWE and that it left him ‘depressed’.
