Several former WWE stars are currently under AEW's banner. Wrestlers such as Mercedes Mone (FKA Sasha Banks), Toni Storm, Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, Swerve Strickland, Bobby Lashley, and more have been thriving in All Elite Wrestling. Furthermore, Tony Khan is quite dependent on these names.

One of Tony Khan's most trusted names is seven-time WWE champion, Jon Moxley. The former Dean Ambrose was signed to the rival company from 2011 to 2019. He is one of the biggest names in All Elite Wrestling, having held the promotion's world title four times. Additionally, he is the leader of The Death Riders.

In a recent interview with 3NTWrestling, the 43-year-old showered The Purveyor of Violence with praise. He called Moxley one of the most important people in the company.

And since we started AEW, he’s been the most consistent presence on the show week in, week out on all of our shows. Since day one, Jon has been one of the most important stars in AEW. But backstage, also one of the most important people in AEW." said Tony Khan.
