Jon Moxley breaks silence over his rumored cameo at chaotic WrestleMania XL main-event

WrestleMania XL Night Two had one of the most chaotic main events that featured a horde of superstars and legends. The Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes saga officially came to an end as the American Nightmare clinched the Undisputed Universal Championship Title. The clash was contested under Bloodline Rules, where there was no disqualification, and anything goes. It was determined after Rhodes and Rollins lost at Night One to The Rock and Roman Reigns. Night Two had the ultimate action taking place as it had the involvement of legends, but there was one moment where the fans went berserk, which was when The Shield's music hit the speakers. The WWE Universe expected the arrival of Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley, but that did not take place. The now-AEW star offered his thoughts on the segment.

“It’s cool that people thought it was me. But I was asleep,” said Moxley.
