Jon Moxley is having one of the best runs of his career. He is the reigning AEW World Champion. The Deathrider captured the world title at the recent WrestleDream pay-per-view. Additionally, his stable, which consists of PAC, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli, is constantly by his side.
Jon Moxley is undoubtedly one of the most influential wrestlers of the modern era. He is in his fourth AEW World Title run and radiates plenty of aura. Furthermore, he was immensely successful during his time in WWE. In the Stamford-based promotion, the veteran won the WWE Championship once and the Intercontinental Title three times. Additionally, The Purveyor of Violence is a one-time United States Champion and a two-time RAW Tag Team Champion.
The erstwhile Dean Ambrose has several well-wishers and friends in the industry. He shares a strong relationship with most of them. However, there are a few names with whom he simply cannot get along.
Here are three of them. These names are based on various reports over the years.
#3. Stone Cold Steve Austin
In 2016, Jon Moxley was interviewed by The Texas Rattlesnake on the Stone Cold Podcast. Unfortunately, this interaction was very awkward. The former Dean Ambrose appeared quite disinterested, and the WWE Hall of Famer was furious by the 38-year-old's behavior.
Steve Austin once even explained how the conversation with the former WWE Champion affected him deeply.
"I did a Stone Cold podcast a couple of years ago with Dean Ambrose, and for whatever reason we got off on the wrong track, and it was a rough podcast. I’ve been carrying 1000 lbs on my back ever since that happened. I felt so bad about that interview, and I was leading that interview, so I gotta take the fault of it because I’m there to get people over and make them come off like a million bucks," Steve Austin said.

A few years ago, The Texas Rattlesnake stated that he had buried the hatchet with the erstwhile Lunatic Fringe. But who knows what the truth is?
#2. CM Punk
There is certainly heat between Jon Moxley and CM Punk. When The Best in The World was signed to AEW, he once received a suspension because of a real-life fight with The Young Bucks. During this time, the WWE Superstar took to his Instagram stories and lashed out at Moxley, Dave Meltzer, and Chris Jericho.
This story was deleted soon after. However, the damage was done. This created a huge controversy. Later, it was revealed that Jon Moxley refused to lose to The Second City Saint. Even though it has been a while since this happened, the AEW World Champion could have disdain for The Straight Edge Superstar.
#1. Jon Moxley has been vocal about his issues with Brock Lesnar
Jon Moxley doesn't see eye-to-eye with Brock Lesnar. The two had a rivalry in 2016 and locked horns at WrestleMania 32. This match was won by The Beast Incarnate.
When The Purveyor of Violence left the Sports Entertainment juggernaut, he opened up about the issues he faced there. Interestingly, the former Shield member revealed that he had a hard time working with Lesnar. The former UFC star reportedly inferiorized Jon Moxley and kept rejecting the latter's ideas during the build-up to their match.
