3 reasons why Jon Moxley joined AEW

Pro wrestling fans had been waiting for AEW's inaugural show, Double or Nothing. The new company took the wrestling world by storm with a stellar show at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The show had nine matches on the card and the last three matches certainly stole the show. Adam Page won the Casino Battle Royale match to earn a future world title shot, Cody Rhodes took on Dustin Rhodes, and the Rhodes brothers gave a memorable performance. However, the anticipation was sky high for the main event of the night, as Kenny Omega took on Chris Jericho.

Though the match was not as jaw-dropping as their NJPW encounter, they offered an impressive bout. The company stunned the fans when Jon Moxley attacked Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho after the latter won the main event. Moxley, who was known as Dean Ambrose in WWE, closed the show by standing tall.

Moxley is undeniably the biggest signing of AEW. Here we discuss three theories why the former WWE Champion signed for AEW.

#3 To become the ultimate face of AEW

Besides Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley is certainly the biggest name on the AEW roster. The fans were speculating that Moxley might sign for AEW after he left WWE last month. The former WWE Champion interrupted the main event, and he made a big statement on his debut.

Moxley was a big name in WWE but he was not the ultimate face of the company. It is no secret Roman Reigns is the face of WWE and he is the golden boy of Vince McMahon. Ambrose won the most coveted prize of the company but he was stuck in the upper mid-card for the most part of his career in WWE.

The scenario will be different in AEW. Since Moxley has gigantic popularity in the wrestling world, he could be the ultimate face of All Elite Wrestling. We already saw a glimpse when he took down Jericho and delivered a DDT to Omega. Moxley will dominate AEW for a long time.
