Jon Moxley new contract: Major update on WWE reunion of The Shield

Jon Moxley has signed a new contract with AEW, essentially confirming he won’t be returning to WWE anytime soon.

Since Moxley (formerly Dean Ambrose) left WWE in 2019, fans have been speculating about when we’re going to see The Shield in the same ring again.

Fans thought the chances may have risen with Triple H now running WWE Creative, but that speculation doesn’t appear to have been accurate.

Fans haven’t seen The Shield all in the same ring since April 2019, and it’s going to be another five years minimum until we see them together again.

AEW announced yesterday that Jon Moxley has signed a new contract with the promotion, which is set to expire in 2027.

The new deal will see him working not just as an on-screen talent, where he serves as the AEW World Champion, but also as a mentor and coach behind the scenes.

The news is obviously great for those who enjoy seeing Moxley on arguably the best run of his career in AEW, but not for those who wanted to see him return to WWE.

A lot of the reason that fans want to see Moxley back in WWE is so he can reunite with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, collectively known as The Shield.

There have long been rumours that Moxley could be heading back to WWE, but those seem to have been started by wishful-thinking fans as opposed to journalists with actual knowledge of the situation.

Moxley is enjoying the best run of his career right now as AEW World Champion, so it makes complete sense that he’d want to stay with the promotion that served him so well over the last three years.

Moxley is currently locked in a feud with MJF, but will be defending his title against Hangman Page before any
