He was burdened with Shota because he came straight out of WWE and Shota was, at the time, the clear Young Lion that they were betting the most to become a huge star. Moxley wants to deliver on what was implicitly asked of him and be the mentor of the next Okada or something close to it.

For all you can say about Moxley, he's not very cynical. Dude has a heart in him.
