Former WWE star Jon Moxley set up the entire world of professional wrestling abuzz when he made his AEW debut almost two years ago. During his interaction on Talk is Jericho, Moxley cited the cause of his departure from WWE as mental and emotional exhaustion, as well as the terrible booking of his on-screen character.

Moxley's wife Renee Paquette recently revealed that her husband had rediscovered his passion for wrestling and was in a much better state.

"As soon as he left WWE – and I mean, similar to what it was like for me leaving. I mean, he was in a different boat when he was getting ready to leave WWE. So, seeing the way that he would function within WWE – but as soon as he left, seeing his love of wrestling come back was crazy. He really had a shift in his creativity. He would wake up super early excited to watch old matches, or thinking about different promotions he wanted to work in. And this was before he knew whether he was going to go to AEW, or what he was gonna do."

Jon Moxley went on to sign with AEW after he left WWE. His contract with the promotion also allowed him to compete in NJPW.

The former AEW Champion is doing much better now compared to his last days as Dean Ambrose in WWE.
