"Me and Jon became friends to the point where when I was out injured, not a lot of people came to see me. Jon did. Jon brought his wife, his kid. He didn't have to. It was like eight o'clock at night. I was like, ‘What are you doing? The baby got to eat. Let the baby eat, go to sleep.’ He’s like, ‘No, no, no. They wanted to see you.’ And we didn't talk business. We didn't talk wrestling. We just talked life. So that's my friendship with Moxley.”- H/T WrestlePurists
