AEW World Champion Jon Moxley recently appeared on Busted Open Radio where he talked about WWE CEO Vince McMahon and revealed a key difference between AEW and WWE. Jon Moxley claimed that one of the most frustrating parts about his WWE career was being handed scripts by Vince McMahon. He stated that while AEW has a ‘pressure-free’ environment, WWE is different. The WWE superstars are under constant pressure to deliver incredible performances and memorise the entire script which is written by 'a 74-year-old madman’.

“I'll tell you what pressure is...pressure is having a two-page script written by a 74-year-old madman that makes no sense to you, that's gonna make you look stupid. And you're on worldwide TV, live and you gotta memorise every single line and somehow try to pull it off and not look like a total jack***. That's pressure,” Jon Moxley added.

Moxley recalled that he once again had a big argument with Vince McMahon later, that had a huge impact on him.
