Some cliffnotes from Moxley:

-He knew he wanted to leave the company in July 2018 when he was out with an injury

-Refused to read a scripted promo because he believed it was idiotic/ridiculous whilst Vince believed it was great

-Talks about the promos he read whilst feuding with Seth late last/early this year, and how they made no sense, tried to rewrite them and got frustrated when he couldn't

-Says he thought him cutting the promo talking about Roman's cancer was distasteful

-Says he felt like walking out on the Raw where he got shots/vaccinated during a promo, and that was the day he 100% knew he was leaving and not coming back

-Vince tried to talk him into saying another cancer remark about Roman, says it was so bad they could have lost sponsors, refused to say it (34 minutes into the podcast)

-Says he was excited to return to wrestling when he was injured, but not excited to return to WWE

-Says if there was no other promotion other than WWE, he still would have left and done something else

-Vince "didn't know" he was unhappy, even with Moxley being open with his frustrations to Vince about scripts

-Was happy to take bumps from Nia, but felt like it was them punishing him for leaving

-They offered him a new contract, he didn't even look at it

-His goal in AEW is to be the best version of himself, looking forward to creative freedom

-Says Tony Kahn is the exact opposite of Vince, likes him and the fact hes a huge wrestling fan

-Talks about using social media now that he's out of WWE and it isn't being forced

-His payday for the Shield's Final Chapter was $500, which is in line with what background extras typically receive
He flew himself to New York to meet with Vince away from TV to pitch ideas for his return and got the good shit from Vince
