5 Times Vince McMahon seemingly punished WWE Superstars on live TV

#1 Jon Moxley says Vince McMahon tried to bury him with the Nia Jax segment

In early 2019, Jon Moxley made it clear to WWE that he was going to part ways with the company. Soon after, Jon Moxley was put in a segment with Nia Jax, which saw the latter dominating the Shield member. Moxley later stated that he was used in that capacity in order to bury him before he left WWE.

“I was hoping that he would write me off TV that night, but he was like, ‘We’ll just finish you up at ‘Mania.' He was like, ‘We’re not gonna bury you on the way out or anything’ and I went, ‘Well, actually, it’s funny you mention that because that’s the reason I stormed in here, because it looks to me that that’s exactly what you’re doing.’”

Moxley also lost to EC3 in quick fashion, and also wasn't a part of WrestleMania that year. Following "The Shield's Final Chapter", Moxley left WWE and soon made his way to AEW. Currently, Moxley is the promotion's World Champion, and is doing well for himself.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
