Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer recently joined SiriusXM’s Busted Open radio to discuss the revelation that Jon Moxley had joined All Elite Wrestling. With Moxley having left the WWE after his contract expired, the duo discussed what future wrestlers who may want to leave the company might have to do in an effort to get out of their deals.
"Nobody is getting their release anymore. You're going to have to wait out your contract, and he did it the right way."@bullyray5150 @THETOMMYDREAMER react to @JonMoxley on @IAmJericho's @TalkIsJericho & what he claims led him to ultimately leave the company. pic.twitter.com/PBJfN9xYdJ

According to Bully Ray, wrestlers that want to leave the WWE to move on to more independent brands will simply have to wait it out now. “When you know your time is up, you just have to stare down the barrel of that gun and wait out your deal, which is exactly what he did,” he said. “There’s no other way out. A couple of other people got their release and were able to wiggle their way out. Nobody is getting their release anymore. You’re going to have to wait out your contract, and he did it professionally, and he did it the right way.”
Dreamer added that while the WWE may have pushed Dean Ambrose while hw was with the company, there is a creative aspect of things that certain superstars also strive for. “I understand that frustration, because once you reach that certain amount of goals, then what?” Dreamer said. “For guys like, even myself, it’s that creativeness, as well as to be able to have a say. I work for a lot of companies, I’m not under contract for any of them, because I don’t want to be married that way to anybody.”
