Seth Rollins, one of Jon Moxley's best friends and someone who had been with him pretty much since day one in WWE, was upset upon hearing his pal's plans to depart. Knowing how important unity and friendship was to Seth, Jon decided to try and paint a vivid picture of his misery so Rollins would understand.

The way he went about it was rather poetic.

Moxley described himself as a 'wild animal that'd been domesticated for too long'. That, in one sentence, referenced his old hardcore liberation and told Seth that his mate felt cooped up. The lack of freedom was killing his excitement for wrestling, more specifically WWE wrestling, and he couldn't tolerate it any longer.

At this point in the pod, Moxley almost veered into ill-needed territory by dropping hints that Seth could leave too. That's easy to say, but Rollins looks happy with his lot, is probably making a ton of money and is in a great spot as Universal Champion.

What's good for one person isn't always ideal for another.
