Rounding off with the man who is actually the most likely to return to WWE by the simple factor of him being the most healthy and least problematic. Given the impact that The Shield had on WWE, it’s no surprise that there are still legions of WWE fans out there who still refer to Jonathan Good as Dean Ambrose, as opposed to the name everyone knows him by these days, Jon Moxley.
Moxley is a hugely important part of WWE history thanks to being one-third of The Shield, and due to how successful both Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins have been over the past decade, the former AEW World Champion must know that he would be a guaranteed main eventer if he ever decided to leave AEW. With that said, Moxley made it abundantly clear how he felt about the creative process in WWE during his eight years with the company when he left in 2019, even revealing that he was so appalled by a writer proposing the idea of making a joke about Reigns’ Leukemia diagnosis.
In AEW, Moxley can wrestle how he wants, who he wants, and have the freedom to travel to places like New Japan Pro Wrestling, CMLL, and the independent circuit while remaining as one of the top stars in the second biggest wrestling company in the world. His current contract with AEW is expected to run until at least October 2027, barring any injury time being added on at the end, but much like Bryan Danielson, Moxley is likely to be an AEW lifer, and WWE isn’t going to offer him anything that his current employers can’t already provide.
