Eddie Kingston could have been working as a WWE Superstar to this day had Jon Moxley’s attempts to get him a job worked.

Moxley, formerly Dean Ambrose, left WWE in 2019 and has become one of AEW’s top stars, with the most World Championships to his name.

On a recent episode of the ESPR Wrestling Podcast, Kingston revealed how Moxley tried to help him get hired by WWE.

“My only interest was making money. I didn’t care where it was, and I used to tell a lot of young guys on the independents, ‘Don’t be a mark or a fan for letters. Be a mark and a fan for dollar signs.

“[Moxley] would definitely try. He has his ways, you know what I mean. He would hit me up once a year for like three years, ‘Hey, I sent your tape to [William] Regal. And I wouldn’t have his number saved because he changed his number.

“Every year, I’d be like, ‘Who’s this?’ ‘It’s Mox!’ ‘Yo, what’s up Mox?’ ‘Nothing.’ Then the next year, ‘Hey, I sent more of your stuff to Regal and WWE.’ Then I’d be like, ‘Who is this? Oh it’s Mox.’ ‘What’s up,’ no answer again. It was like that for three years in a row.”

Kingston has been with AEW since July 2020 but is yet to hold gold for the promotion.
