Jon Moxley made his AEW debut in surprise fashion at “Double Or Nothing” last Saturday in Las Vegas, but before he laid-out CJ and threw Kenny Omega out of the ring after entering through the sold-out crowd, the superstar wrestler formerly known as Dean Ambrose sat down for an in-depth interview on his much-speculated departure from WWE. Jon shares the story in great detail from the first moment he knew he would not return to WWE after his contract expired to some of the creative decisions that led to his exit in the first place. He speaks about the injury that kept him sidelined for 9 months, his anti-climactic post-injury return to WWE, his angle with Nia Jax, his last run with The Shield, what Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns had to say about Jon’s leaving, the weird press release issued about his departure, and why AEW is the perfect wrestling home for him.

In this clip, U-God and Vlad spoke further about the unique style of Ol' Dirty Bastard, as the Wu-Tang legend noted that one of ODB's main influences was actually Biz Markie. "That was his idol, he loved Biz the most," U-God said during the segment, as they both agreed that ODB ultimately took that style and made it his own. From there, the conversation shifts towards more turmoil throughout the group, which he mainly attributes to RZA's early focus on side projects that got in the way of the original nine members.

U God spoke to VladTV about Wu-Tang's third album, The W, which he believes wasn't hard enough. U God went on to explain that he wasn't a fan of any of the albums after Wu-Tang Forever, adding that he didn't think RZA was bringing hard enough production on any of the other records. U God went on to speak about voicing his complaints to RZA, which you can hear more about above.
