5 Times WWE Superstars were uncomfortable with their storylines

#1 Former WWE Champion Dean Ambrose didn't like having to use Roman Reigns' leukemia in a storyline

Former WWE Superstar Dean Ambrose is now better known as AEW star Jon Moxley. For most of his WWE career, Ambrose was one-third of the popular faction, The Shield.

In late 2018, Roman Reigns sadly had to take a break from WWE after being diagnosed with leukemia for a second time. WWE decided to bring this into the storyline between The Shield, where Ambrose turned heel and attacked Rollins on the very same episode that Reigns' illness was announced.

On an episode of RAW that followed, Ambrose cut a promo mocking Reigns' diagnosis that was met with criticism. Moxley expressed his distaste over even saying the words that he did on the Talk is Jericho podcast.

“I cut the promo and as soon as that line left my mouth, I went, 'Oh my God, I can’t believe I just said that',” said Jon Moxley.

Moxley also revealed that he was given material that he was uncomfortable with.

“Remember what I was saying about the line in the previous promo the week before? This promo also had a line regarding my actual friend who is going through actual leukemia that Vince wanted me to say, that he tried to talk me into saying. This is where I absolutely drew the line. He tried to talk me into it but I was like ‘absolutely not’. He said, ‘If you feel uncomfortable, that’s fine’ and I’m like, 'No'... that’s where I had to finally put my foot down. It is the worst line. I’m not going to say it on air, I’ll tell you [Jericho] after we’re done, but I’m not even going to say it on air – that’s how bad it was. It would have been a thing where somebody would’ve had to get fired,” said Jon Moxley.

Moxley also claimed that he decided to leave WWE shortly after this.
