While we all know him as Jon Moxley now, he used to be known as Dean Ambrose when he competed in The WWE. Furthermore, he was a member of the iconic faction known as the Shield, which had one of the greatest runs in the history of the sport. Ambrose didn’t stop there, winning the WWE Title, The Intercontinental Title, The tag team titles, and The United States Championship. He was very decorated during his time with the company but was strangely never considered one of their top superstars.
That role went to guys like his fellow Shield members Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Whether it was his look, his backstage attitude, or just the powers that be, there just was never room at the top for Moxley. That’s probably why he decided to go elsewhere.
