Jon Moxley's Talks Is Jericho shoot interview hit the wrestling world like a mortar blast last week, and it sounds like the former Dean Ambrose's pointed diatribe against WWE Creative has had an impact on the promotion's locker room.

This is according to Fightful, who spoke to several wrestlers and other WWE employees in the aftermath, all of whom shared the sentiments put forth by Moxley on the podcast.

One even claimed that the interview "broke their heart" as it perfectly reflected their own feelings, though they are ultimately glad that Moxley got the story out there.

Another WWE employee approached Fightful directly, stating that if things don't improve, they'll be leaving when their contract comes up, adding that they've already "mentally checked out" of the promotion. They cited the "frustrating job" and the "tough time" they have answering to Vince McMahon, claiming that the Chairman has built an infrastructure calibrated to make him unreachable.

Fightful don't mention him by name, but the response to this story has led to speculation that Rusev is among the upset wrestlers. This shouldn't be a surprise, given his lack of TV time, and it wouldn't be the first time he has been linked with a WWE exit either.

Might be worth noting that Rusev and Lana have been confirmed to be at the next event hosted by Wales Comic Con (usually in my town but I think this one's in Telford for a one-off) so they clearly are looking for other things to do to fill their time...

The absolute saddest part about RAW is that it's "3 hour show" is only about 1.5 hours without commercials. And that 1.5 hours is mostly full of **** no one cares about anymore.

Bring on AEW TV!

And the actual amount of TV time that Smackdown has is literally only about 5 minutes shorter. Sad.

Have not watched for a year, but still keeping up with the news.

Good to see WWE in trouble and AEW having a strong start. Hopefully AEW comes even more stronger and influential in the future. Competition makes everyone better.

He just lost it again

[michael21]

Disclaimer this is all in my head

Anybody watching today? its starts at 5pm and tbh im only interested in the Battle Royal because there are rumours they are using NXT stars and One off Debuts to fill it out like TGRR

[LaLaLand]

Might just watch the highlights.

I saw Bray is supposed to have his debut here? Wasted imo. Not the most enthusiastic audience to introduce a new character too if TGRR is anything to go by. The crowd only proper cheered like 5 people the whole night and most of the time were standing around talking to each other.

[Denver]

One good thing to come our of it is there is a rumour that Brock will cash in and lose the MITB through DQ

[Denver]

There will also be a shock winner of the battle royal

Spoiler:

NXT superstar Mansoor is booked to win it

[Denver]

I honestly though this would be Ali's big break winning the massive Battle Royal in a Muslim country which I'm guessing they wanted a Muslim winner

Mansoor is from Saudi Arabia that's why he'll win, hometown/country pop.

Ali was born in America with Indian/Pakistani parents.

[Denver]

I'm sure they were just chasing a woman through the crowd, I guess she is be murdered tonight

[Denver]

Literally screaming at Heyman falling into the ring face first

[Denver]

Also Alexa vs Natalya is not happening whatsoever

[Denver]

I dont understand this Shane push

[Denver]

AOP have returned for the BR

[Denver]

Why did Titus get his own entrance yet the likes of Ali and Ricochet didnt

[Denver]

So Mansoor did win and I wouldnt mind if he was to be pushed but he will just fade back to the lower card of NXT

Because it was a comedy spot last year.

[Denver]

This is a great match

[Denver]

I guess the rumours may be true and Goldberg will be back for an extended run

[LaLaLand]

Didn't watch in the end, cba.
