4 Reasons why Jon Moxley's move to AEW could make him the biggest thing in professional wrestling

In the latest WWE NEWS, Jon Moxley made a surprise debut at AEW's Double or Nothing PPV and finally, it can be said that the former Lunatic Fringe has left the realms of WWE and jumped ship. He was welcomed with both shocks and cheers as he walked out during the main event and destroyed anything that moved.

He gave a Dirty Deeds to Jericho, then he did the same to the referee and in the end, he gave one to Kenny Omega. The show ended with Jon Moxley standing tall as everything around him was laid to waste. Many would question this move and rightfully so, AEW is not the first promotion that has set foot to challenge WWE's domination. Many such promotions have come and gone and not stood the test of times.

So for someone who was offered a crazy lucrative deal by WWE and leaves all that to join AEW is still a huge question mark. Jon Moxley/Dean though might have just made a move that could potentially catapult him to the top of the professional wrestling world. From being touted as a great performer, he could have a chance to be called the best man in the wrestling world.

Let's have a look at why AEW could make Jon Moxley the biggest star in Professional Wrestling.

#1 He will be the top dog at AEW

Jon delivered a Dirty Deeds to Jericho on his very first night

When was the last time Dean Ambrose was part of the main event at a WWE PPV? Unless it was a Shields match one would have to strain their memory to find a PPV where Dean was the main event. It's an open secret that Vince McMahon wants his wrestlers to look a certain way and be a certain kind if they have to be pushed to the top.

Regardless, Dean had fallen so low in the pecking order through no fault of his own that him being the top billing in WWE was going to be a long road (if it ever really came to fruition). On the other hand, as soon as he steps into AEW, he's the guy closing the show with so much verve and class that he just looks like he belongs to the big stage. Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley is already one of the top guys at AEW and that's where he deserves to be.

#2 He will have creative freedom

Jon felt choked in WWE because of a lack of creative freedom given to the wrestlers

Something pretty obvious from Dean Ambrose's interview on Chris Jericho's podcast was that he had next to nothing creative freedom in the company. The wrestlers in WWE, from the looks of it, don't have much of a say. Whether it be in terms of how their character is built or the direction in which they want to take or even the lines that they have to speak.

They are just given the script and they have to turn up and perform, with them keeping their wits to one side. As Jon Moxley stated, WWE had become such a bad experience for him because he just couldn't be himself and kept getting typecast into something he was just not.

In AEW, even in just one or two promos that he has done, Jon has shown such an amazing side of himself, such edge, such charisma which he was just not able to show when he was part of the WWE. At AEW, at least by the looks of it, Jon will get a chance to explore himself, learn from the best in Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho and grow to unprecedented levels.

#3 He will be part of a brand new product

AEW promises to be a fresh new product as compared to the stale offering from WWE

There was something that Billy Gunn mentioned in his interview with Whatculture which does resonate quite a bit with everyone right now. WWE is dishing out a stale product and fans just don't want to tune into it anymore.

What AEW is doing, is providing these fans with an alternative product that is fresh, written better, gives the immensely talented wrestlers a portal to express themselves and moreover, is not following the same old routine. WWE is acting like a sinking ship right now and seems to have no answers whatsoever to AEW in terms of quality.

AEW, on the other hand, is showing the potential of at least making great strides in the first year or so. Jon gets a chance to ride that wave and grow in stature among the wrestling fraternity while doing that.

#4 He's one of the best in the business

He was as good as any of the top performers in WWE

It was a common consensus even when he was part of the WWE that Dean Ambrose was underutilized as compared to his Shield mates. When you talk about the qualities of a complete package in this day and age and you look and Ambrose, you see a complete match. He was one of the best in-ring performers in WWE so that is one box ticked.

The audience loved him so that ticks another box. He's a great speaker when handed a microphone and he emits a charisma that is just not common for every wrestler. He elicits a reaction from the crowd that not many could and he does that without it ever looking like any kind of effort. Someone of this rare ability was getting wasted at WWE and now he'll finally get a chance to express himself and spread his wings at AEW.
