Jon Moxley keeps it short and sweet.
These days, Jon Moxley is a top star in AEW, and he holds the AEW World Championship. But years ago, he was making a name for himself on the independent scene, and he took a big swing by calling out WWE's Batista at a CZW show. He later faced Batista during his run as Dean Ambrose in WWE, as Ambrose and The Shield feuded with Batista and Evolution.
Speaking with CBS Sports' Shakiel Mahjouri for SHAK Wrestling, Jon Moxley was asked about calling out Batista in CZW and facing him in WWE years later.
"I didn’t even really think about that. My memory of a lot of those years, on that particular circuit, are quite spotty. It was a different time and place. That definitely sounds like something....I would make all kinds of outlandish claims. Batista was cool as fuck. He was a cool guy," Moxley said.
Batista, who has transitioned to a successful career in Hollywood, recently said that he missed wrestling, but he would not tarnish his storybook ending. Check out his comments here.
