Ready for some déjà vu? Here's 'Things Could've Been Worse 2.0: The Dean Ambrose Chronicles'.

One of the most interesting moments of the 'Talk Is Jericho' interview came when Moxley talked about refusing to read Vince McMahon's script. No, Jon wasn't spurning something just for the sake of it. He was disgusted by a line McMahon penned about Roman's cancer fight that was 'so bad it would've lost (WWE) sponsors'.

Those were Moxley's words on the pod, but he didn't reveal exactly what Vince had wanted him to say. All he did say is that he refused to use it during that evening's promo and everyone moved on. Everyone except Jon, that is. He was appalled by WWE's apparent desire to use his friend's life-altering illness as a means to write shock TV.

Moxley's resistance was justified when WWE booked another Shield reunion following Roman's return anyway. Presumably, they would've done that at some point anyway even if he had said vile things about Reigns' cancer battle, his life and his family.
