5 WWE stars who almost walked out (and the reasons why)

#4 Jon Moxley almost walked out (WWE RAW, 2018)

Jon Moxley (f.k.a. Dean Ambrose in WWE) appeared on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho podcast shortly after leaving WWE for AEW in 2019.

The former Shield member explained how he was unhappy with several of his WWE storyline developments after his 2018 heel turn. His segment on the November 26, 2018 episode of RAW, in which he received a series of inoculations, even led to him almost walking out.

Moxley told Jericho that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was happy with the segment. However, the former WWE Champion did not share the same opinion.

“I couldn’t have gotten out of that building faster,” Moxley said. “Earlier in the day, I was like, ‘I gotta walk out.’ I remember having a feeling of dizziness like a weird pit of my stomach dizziness and I remember talking to some of my friends like, ‘I can’t work here, what is this? What are they doing? It’s so embarrassing.’ Like, actual dizziness. It’s like I can’t believe this is happening.”

Although Moxley left WWE five months later, he did not walk out on the company in the end. The 2016 Money in the Bank winner let his contract expire at the end of April 2019, allowing him to join AEW the following month.
