Thing is, if Mox ever wanted to return I’m sure he could get a limited schedule. They’re way looser with handing those out these days, I know AJ got one when he re-signed, Orton’s had one for years, I believe Roman’s on one now but I might be wrong on that one. That as well as house shows as they were are pretty much done it appears...Certainly not nearly as prolific as they were as Covid showed they could be extremely profitable without them...hell without fans haha It actually seems like they might start touring close to full time again soon. Starting this weekend they’re back to a full tour for May, with quite a few nights with 2 separate tours. I’m not sure if that’s gonna keep up going forward, but they definitely seem to be checking out if it’s worth it.

THIS. Apparently, there is an unwritten rule everyone has to come back. He's living his best life RN and personally I hope he continues to do so until retirement

I hate to say it as well but he seems to be in a safer environment for himself personally instead of on the road drinking to cope with the sheer workload outside of the ring that WWE requires...Moxley hopefully will be the AEW Dreamer Thing is, if Mox ever wanted to return I’m sure he could get a limited schedule. They’re way looser with handing those out these days, I know AJ got one when he re-signed, Orton’s had one for years, I believe Roman’s on one now but I might be wrong on that one. I guess my thing is WWE is a weird situation where they want you to come off like the actor on the red carpet instead of the wrestler that got you there and I just have never seen Moxley as the guy to fit that mold or to thrive in it really...His two compatriots in the Shield fell into the WWE mold well and took to the overly dramatized yet obviously highly sterilized social personas...CM Punk is another guy that just never fits no matter how much you want him to really.

He's returning to the WWE for a Hall of Fame induction for the Shield, if that, if ever Like seriously, listen to his Podcasts when he left, he was so beyond done with the place, he literally stated himself he'd rather work Gyms full of 20 people for the rest of his career just about, he was so creatively sapped dry it was the first time he felt robotic doing what he loved by the end. It wasn't healthy, and it was not a Cody situation. Listening to podcasts/shoot interviews right after someone leaves is definitely not the way to gauge whether someone will return. All reports are that Punk was very interested in returning to WWE around the time he signed with AEW, but the WWE were the ones that weren’t putting on a full court press to woo him. And he had a lot more grievances than Moxley. Not saying he will definitely sign with WWE when his contract is up this year, but I think he’ll be back within 5 years.

Moxley is not the average person, he's not someone I don't think is in it to be "woo'd", he's in it for himself, and what makes him happy If in five years, he sees something in WWE to go back that would personally make him happy? Maybe, but Moxley isn't Punk, and Moxley seems way more interested in just working wherever he can and however he can with no filter and no worry. Like by all accounts yes, there is always the variable of "things change", but people so confident on him going back? Moxley's one of those dudes I never see going back after what they put him through, he was miserable, in many different ways.

WWE is obviously willing to bend on some stuff, as evidenced by concessions they've seemingly made to Cody, but I don't see it likely ever happening outside of maybe, maybe, a one-off appearance. Cody got all the things he did thanks to having an agent. Most wrestlers don't have one. Mox might have one l, since he got that book deal and did a few movies. I, personally, don't want hom to go back to WWE. The last few years outside of it has breathed new life into him. I can't see WWE keeping that spark alive.

What did they put him through besides bad creative? Like I said, Punk had way more personal grievances and still was reportedly open to a return. I think Moxley will re-sign with AEW this year , but I think his next contract after that is where we might see him contemplate a WWE return.

How does Renee feel about WWE after she has left now? She's been diplomatic and still has a relationship with them since she has WWE talent on her podcast but she has been open about her frustrations with how she was managed, especially when announcing or doing live TV. I also know her getting COVID was a sore spot for her as she thought the company's reaction was crap.

The thing i don't get about this 'when' is that Mox is like the one AEW main eventer who regularly does indie shows.

Honestly, I like the name Dean Ambrose better than Jon Moxley. I still think of him as Ambrose.
Also, I will utterly amazed if he decides to go back to WWE.

All things considered, while he may have been frustrated creatively, I do not think WWE treated him badly. He had perhaps the best send off for a leaving wrestler in recent memory, especially since they probably expected him to join AEW eventually. It all depends on what he wants from his career at the time his contract is over. Maybe in a few years he will feel that he got all of the death matches out of his system and he wants to wind down his career in a easier style. Having a kid (and sobriety) will change your outlook sometimes. Plus there is a lot of money left out there for a Shield reunion, they are the premier faction of the last 15 years and produced three main eventers and world champions across two companies.
So if I had to bet, I would give 51% he returns for at least one match, 49% that he doesn't. Either way, I see a Hall of Fame induction for the Shield as a lock.

He had it good in wwe, but he should of been a John Cena like face of the company when he was treated like a Jericho. His send off was awful though. He won like 1 match against EC3 when they knew he wasn’t re signing, was made Drew’s bitch, lost to Seth on a Raw opener with no buildup, almost got jobbed to Nia Jax and apparently got stiffed for the last shield show

They gave him shitty enhancement level money for his last match in the company as a final insult if I recall correctly. Like it was the bare minimum they could pay him.

They gave him a 500$ paycheck for his Farewell show and if The Shield hadnt stepped up for their boy (and according to NEWZ , WWE didnt want Moxley to be seen as a martyr) the plan was to have him to feud with anlose to Nia Jax.

Mox gets paid well by TK, I'm quite certain.
New Japan doesn't exactly pay chump change, either, and I'm sure he'll be back to working dates with them when/if he's able.
For that matter, Indies don't pay WWE money, but when you're Mox, you're going to draw a good house and get a bigger payout for one day's of work than most of us will make.
So, from a money point of view, while the WWE could and probably would beat what he's being offered, he's certainly not hurting for money. He also doesn't seem like someone who lives extravagantly.
The only other reason to go back would be creative differences, and creative is why he left in the first place. He's not Cody.

I don't see it happening in the foreseeable future, but I wouldn't put it past him to have one final (and short) run if he gets some of the creative control he wants.
