Jon Moxley, formerly known as Dean Ambrose in WWE, is one of the biggest stars in professional wrestling today. AEW has been on a whole another level ever since he left WWE for Tony Khan's fledgling company. He made a massive impact on his AEW debut by attacking both Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega.

Back when he was in WWE, he was part of one of the most popular factions in wrestling at the time, The Shield, alongside Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. Moxley accomplished everything in the company, as he became a Grand Slam Champion.

Although Moxley had a memorable career as Dean Ambrose, it all ended on a rather sour note. In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Moxley stated that he decided not to renew his contract due to creative differences.

Ever since he joined AEW, his feelings about wrestling changed positively. On an episode of Lillian Garcia's podcast, Chasing Glory, Moxley's wife, Renee Paquette, formerly known as Renee Young in WWE, mentioned how happy her husband was in AEW. She said that ever since he went to AEW, something lit up in him, and he just can't stop talking about wrestling. Moxley has already been the AEW World Champion, so it would be interesting to see what's in store for him now.
