AEW star Jon Moxley previously worked in WWE as Dean Ambrose. In his new book MOX, which recently released, Moxley recalled how Paul Heyman lavished praise on his match against Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns at WWE Fastlane back in 2016. AJ Styles Bad Medical News Revealed
Reigns had won the match to set up a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match against Triple H at WrestleMania 32. That year’s WrestleMania also featured Lesnar’s victory over Moxley, then known as Dean Ambrose, in a No Holds Barred Street Fight.
Jon Moxley recalls Paul Heyman’s praise in Brock Lesnar’s dressing room
The Fastlane 2016 match was certainly worthy of headlining WWE’s biggest show of the year, WrestleMania. He reminisced what Heyman said that night following the match:
“Afterward, we were in Brock’s dressing room, and Paul Heyman said, ‘That right there, that could have been the main event of WrestleMania.’ I genuinely appreciated the praise, though I doubted my paycheck would reflect that. That show was still a ways away and there was a gap to bridge,” Moxley stated.
The Fastlane 2016 finish saw Jon Moxley attack both Lesnar and Reigns with a steel chair. Reigns then hit a spear on Moxley to win the match and punch his ticket to the main event of WrestleMania 32.
