Jon Moxley Claims Bryan Danielson Regrets Releasing WWE Autobiography

Jon Moxley’s first ever book, MOX, is out this week, and he went on Talk Is Jericho to discuss the book with Chris Jericho. Moxley mentioned how the idea of writing a book came to him, and he revealed that WWE had wanted him to write a book.
