5 WWE Superstars who were once Tag Team Champions with current AEW stars

#3 Seth Rollins (with Jon Moxley)

Both Seth Rollins and Jon Moxley (fka Dean Ambrose) achieved fame early on in their WWE main roster run while being a part of The Shield. By the time 2018 was coming to an end, tensions began forming among The Shield members.

On an episode of RAW, Jon Moxley walked away from his friends after the trio lost a match to Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler, and Drew McIntyre. Soon after, Roman Reigns went on a hiatus to battle leukemia. On the same night, Rollins and Ambrose defeated McIntyre and Ziggler to become the RAW Tag Team titles. Ambrose had other plans though, and he turned on Rollins following the victory.

Rollins soon lost a Handicap match to AOP, thus losing the belts. Ambrose went on to leave WWE and signed a contract with AEW. He appeared at the promotion's first event, Double Or Nothing, in May 2019. Currently, Rollins is one of the biggest heels in WWE. Ambrose, on the other hand, is doing quite well for himself in AEW and is currently holding the coveted AEW World title.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
