Jon Moxley on issue with WWE classifying Superstars as independent contractors

Jon Moxley called out WWE for classifying employees as independent contractors, something that has been hotly debated recently.

"When I was doing my taxes in WWE, because you're an independent contractor – which is not true – you're a fu--ing employee. So, you have to pay your taxes. In the developmental first couple of years, I didn't make that much money. I was able to do them myself on TurboTax."

Jon Moxley talked about earning money when he was with WWE and how he reacted to it by actually getting a financial advisor.

"When I had been on WWE for a while and working on a bunch of different states, I started to make more money and taxes became more confusing. So, I look up an accountant; I didn't know s--t. I only had a bank account for two years. So, I find my accountant and financial advisor, I walk into their office, and I explain my situation. They asked what do I want to do with my future.

"I said, 'Well, I'm finally making some money now. I don't know when this is going to end. This could end tomorrow, so I just want to save as much as humanly possible.' So then, in five years, if this all goes to s--t, I'm good.

"That was my plan when I just started to make a little money in WWE. I was going to hoard it and save it because this could end at any moment. Went up, and had really nice, long run. Went over five years, but I still have that same mentality. I don't ever want to depend on anyone else for a paycheck if that was the case."

Jon Moxley is currently doing well, but even though he is making a lot, he still does not spend much money as he never wants to be poor again.
