Before becoming one of AEW's undisputed top stars, Jon Moxley dominated his competition in WWE, where he performed as Dean Ambrose. An interesting piece of information has now come to light regarding The One True King's run in the sports entertainment juggernaut.

Moxley had signed a deal with WWE back in 2011, joining the company's developmental territory FCW. He made his iconic main roster debut at Survivor Series 2012 alongside his teammates, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. The trio, who soon began to call themselves The Shield, subsequently embarked on a meteoric rise, becoming three of the most popular and significant wrestlers to ever compete in the Stamford-based company.

Unfortunately, Ambrose's WWE tenure did not turn out like his stablemates', which eventually led to The Lunatic Fringe leaving the promotion in 2019. That same year, he returned to his old Jon Moxley persona and made his All Elite Wrestling debut at the company's inaugural pay-per-view, Double or Nothing. The Purveyor of Violence has become one of AEW's most consistent top stars over the past six years and continues to appear on the promotion's programming every week to this day.

It was recently pointed out that Jon Moxley, whose main roster run in WWE began on November 18, 2012, and ended with "The Shield's Final Chapter" on April 21, 2019, has now officially surpassed his time in the Triple H-led company since leaving. The 39-year-old was under contract with World Wrestling Entertainment for about 2,345 days, and more than 2,360 days have passed since he left the globally renowned brand.

On the following episode of AEW Dynamite, The Daredevil confronted Moxley and the Death Riders, wielding a flame-thrower, and challenged the former AEW Champion to an "I Quit" match at WrestleDream 2025 - a bout that Moxley accepted, and has since been made official.

With his crew now back at full strength, thanks to the return of PAC and the addition of Daniel Garcia, it remains to be seen if Moxley will be able to deal with Allin once and for all later this month.
