Moxley he was not in the right headspace before re-signing and considered freelancing when his contract was up: "I don’t plan on going anywhere else. It’s the best job in the world, and I’m very lucky to have it. In AEW, all I worry about is wrestling... For me, it’s a perfect fit... A year ago, I wasn’t in the same headspace. I was all f*cked up. I hated traveling. I was living in Vegas, felt like I was always in an airport, flying coast to coast, and I was sick of leaving my family. I thought about freelancing when my deal was up," Jon Moxley said. Moxley also added that he didn't even think about leaving All Elite Wrestling: "Not that I would leave AEW, but I didn’t want to be there every week. I was in a bad place. Then I went to rehab and all that, and now I’m in a totally different headspace." Jon Moxley truly is the heart & soul of !Jon Moxley truly is the heart & soul of !
