Jon Moxley (fka Dean Ambrose) made a surprise appearance at AEW’s ‘Double or Nothing’ event on Saturday night. Moxley attacked both Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega in a surprise moment.
We have an update for you on Moxley’s future with AEW.
After the show, AEW President Tony Khan confirmed that Moxley has a signed a multi-year deal with the company. Here is what he said (via Wrestling INC):
“He is a multi-year contract, he will be on a full-time deal. When we go weekly, he’s going to be full-time. Same as some of the guys, especially when the schedule is light, I’m open to him working some international and indie dates. He is full-time with us, domestically, essentially he’s our guy. Yeah, he’s going to do some international and indie stuff, but he’s definitely an AEW full-time wrestler.
Khan also said that once he was clear of his WWE contract, Moxley came to him to talk.
“As soon as [Moxley] was out of his deal and wanted to talk to people, he came to me. And I was really excited to talk to him when he was able to talk to me. He’s been great and I’m really excited he’s part of the roster.”
Justin Barrasso also reports that Moxley’s in-ring debut will take place on June 29th at the Fyter Fest in Daytona Beach, Florida. No opponent was mentioned.
