Jon Moxley made a shocking return at the start of this week’s AEW Dynamite, live from Champaign, IL. The former AEW World Champion had been absent from television for two months, with his last appearance being at the AEW Forbidden Door pay-per-view in June.



During his return, Moxley revealed that he’s been doing a lot of thinking during his time away, reflecting on some matters that need to be addressed. He made it clear that he’s back for a specific reason— to speak to someone who wasn’t present at Dynamite this week.

In a cryptic message, Moxley addressed Darby Allin, stating that while they might seem different, they are also very much alike. He emphasized that this conversation with Allin is long overdue, adding, “Trust me, I’m not gonna be hard to find.”

Before wrapping up, Moxley delivered a bold statement to Tony Schiavone, saying:

“It’s going to take some time for everybody to wrap their brains around this, but we’re going to get started now. This is not your company anymore”

Later in the show, Moxley had former UFC and WWE star Marina Shafir roughing guys up backstage.



What Moxley’s words mean for the future remains to be seen, but it’s clear that his return and his new mission will shake things up in AEW.
