#5. AEW puts Moxley in ridiculous/goofy storylines
It has been over a month since Moxley made his AEW debut. His recent match with Joey Janela was a violent and bloody brawl, which is something Moxley missed doing in WWE. As one of the hottest Superstars in the industry at the moment, Moxley will be put in high-profile feuds with the biggest wrestlers in AEW.

In his interview with Chris Jericho, Moxley talked about how WWE put him in goofy storylines such as the "rabies shots" one. The moment AEW tries something like this with him, it is bound to make him rethink his stance in regards to his future in the company.
