Wrestling fans were taken by surprise when a video hit the internet today with Dean Ambrose's new (former) gimmick being revealed in the video. If you are a hardcore wrestling fan, you know who Jon Moxley is, and in case not, this video below will give you a glimpse of him being let out into the wrestling world again.
The video shows Moxley escape from a detention facility and evade the cops chasing aftere him. As a daredevil and wrestler that he is, it seemed like a depiction of his other persona, and what his feelings were about WWE (being confined and underappreciated). Twitter responded by welcoming him back with open arms. Ambrose decided not to resign with the WWE, and while it means a big-time financial loss for Vince McMahon's company, it also means that the world of professional wrestling - especially the independent circuit - has a hot free agent to pursue. This is a good way to make wrestling outside of WWE even more popular.
When I say that, one name that comes to mind is All Elite Wrestling, because this is the only promotion that is being hyped as a competitor to WWE. AEW has Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho in its roster, and the addition of Jon Moxley would be a great acquisition.
With that in mind, here are 3 ways he could be portrayed in their upcoming Double or Nothing event...
#3 Unexpected entry of Jon Moxley
A short while ago, AEW Executive Vice-President Cody Rhodes had confirmed that he is not interested in every WWE Superstar but only Tier 1 performers. This was an indication that only if you had the skills will you be employed by the company.
Jon Moxley is definitely a name that every hardcore wrestling fan knows and with his skills and wrestling style, he can turn more heads if he makes a surprise return.
#2 Interfere in a match
The other way around is by making him interfere in a match on the show. This will be phenomenal as the wrestler will make way for an amazing storyline in the process. His work has been amazing in the independent circuit, and if CZW is any indication, the wrestler will make a significant impact.
Wrestling fans love hardcore action, and in the same vein, Jon Moxley is definitely a force to be reckoned with. His work enhanced CZW's standing, making him a popular name and a beloved superstar in the business. If Moxley interferes in match at Double or Nothing, he would get the world talking, and immediately set in motion a storyline that will be remembered as one of the building blocks for AEW moving forwa. AEW wants some big names and action during their first show, and this one could provide just that. This news adds more credibility to this point.
#1 Vignettes will help
Bray Wyatt became the talk of the town with his vignette before unveiling the Firefly Fun House, and though the nature of his return was a swerve, it still got the world talking. If this doesn't confirm that your vignettes can take turn some heads and make the wrestling world take notice, I don't know what else will.
Dean Ambrose (Jon Moxley) has been loved for his role in the WWE, and a promo or in-ring segment would do the trick. Ideally, a promo on TV will be a great idea - his physical absence will boost anticipation and cause all sorts of hype before AEW even finds its footing.
After all, a return that is as grandiose as his should have a promo that will inform fans of his role with newest wrestling company. Moxley will be a huge addition due to his star power and his stellar independent circuit record, to go along with his skills inside the ring.
Any other way you think will be a class entry for Jon Moxley? Sound off in the comments.
