In a bombshell that’s shaking the wrestling world, Jon Moxley — formerly known as Dean Ambrose in WWE — has reportedly extended a personal invitation to his former Shield brother, Roman Reigns, to jump ship and join All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The shocking development comes on the heels of a rumored contract disaster within WWE that has left company executive Triple H reportedly “speechless” and “praying” for a resolution.
According to insiders close to the situation, Roman Reigns’ current WWE contract is facing major complications. While details remain under wraps, speculation suggests mismanagement in the contract renewal process or internal disagreements over creative control, compensation, or scheduling. The uncertainty has fueled intense speculation about Reigns’ future, with fans and insiders alike questioning whether “The Tribal Chief” could really walk away from the company he’s carried for nearly a decade.
Enter Jon Moxley.
Now a cornerstone of AEW and a former AEW World Champion, Moxley has remained close to his former Shield brothers despite his explosive exit from WWE in 2019. Moxley, known for his raw honesty and no-nonsense attitude, allegedly reached out to Reigns directly, expressing that AEW would welcome him with open arms — no politics, no creative handcuffs, just the freedom to wrestle and evolve.
“Roman has done it all in WWE,” a source close to Moxley reportedly said. “Mox believes it’s time for him to do what’s best for himself — not the company. AEW offers that chance.”
The thought of Reigns in AEW is enough to make any wrestling purist do a double-take. For years, Roman has been the face of WWE — a dominant, polarizing figure who turned his heel turn into one of the greatest character reinventions in modern wrestling history. But even megastars can grow weary of corporate constraints, especially when those constraints threaten their autonomy and legacy.
Triple H, now at the helm of WWE’s creative direction, is said to be “devastated” by the potential loss. The idea of Roman walking — especially to a rival promotion — is reportedly one of the few scenarios that could truly leave the cerebral assassin grasping for answers. An anonymous WWE official noted, “He’s praying this doesn’t happen. Roman leaving now would be catastrophic.”
AEW President Tony Khan has yet to make a public statement, but insiders say Khan would pull out all the stops to bring Reigns into the fold, especially with AEW’s next major pay-per-view approaching. A move like this would be a nuclear moment in the ongoing wrestling wars, potentially tipping the balance of power in unprecedented ways.
For now, Roman Reigns remains under WWE contract — but with the wrestling world buzzing and Moxley’s offer hanging in the air, fans are left wondering: will the Head of the Table set a new one elsewhere?
One thing’s for sure — if Roman Reigns ever walks down the ramp on AEW Dynamite, the wrestling world will never b
e the same again.
