5 dream opponents for Jon Moxley if he ever returns to WWE 

Jon Moxley left WWE in April 2019 due to creative differences with Vince McMahon.

The move turned out to be a wise one, as Moxley went on to become the heart and soul of AEW.

The former Dean Ambrose is currently amongst the best wrestlers in the world. He is a beloved figure within the wrestling community, which was evident from the support he received when he returned to Dynamite earlier this week.

Whenever people have asked the AEW superstar about a possible return to WWE, Mox has always replied with a "No."

However, nothing is certain in professional wrestling.

CM Punk denied returning to professional wrestling for seven years before finally arriving in AEW in August 2021. Mox might also consider returning to his previous promotion in the future, even if it's just for a one-off appearance.

In this article, let's look at five superstars Jon Moxley can face if he ever returns to WWE.

#5. Riddle vs. Jon Moxley could be a great match

Jon Moxley's character in WWE was all about entertaining the fans with comedic stuff. But whenever his back was pushed against the wall, Ambrose knew how to retaliate.

RAW Superstar Riddle is also similar to the Lunatic Fringe. He is very laid back most of the time. But when pushed too far, Riddle can punish anybody with his flurry of MMA strikes.

Moxley, whose current gimmick is far superior to his WWE character, wouldn't appreciate Riddle's goofy mannerisms if the two ever faced each other.

The Original Bro would remind Mox of everything he hated about his Dean Ambrose persona, leading to a conflict between the two men.

#4. AJ Styles loved working with Jon Moxley

Jon Moxley and AJ Styles had a series of exciting matches in 2016. The duo faced each other at three different pay-per-views, with every bout being better than the last one.

The Phenomenal One brought the best out of Moxley in their matches. The Lunatic Fringe delivered some of the most memorable performances when he was pitted against AJ.

Bryan Danielson (fka Daniel Bryan) revealed in March 2021 that his ambitions of returning to the squared circle were fueled when he watched a Moxley vs. Styles match from ringside.

The Phenomenal One himself has named Mox as one of his top five rivals of all time. Styles called his rivalry with Jon a "big deal," as the former had a lot of fun working with someone as energetic as him.

Moxley would also appreciate having another match with Styles if their paths cross again in the future.

#3. Damian Priest can make a name for himself at Moxley's expense

Damian Priest is currently having a dominant run as the United States Champion. He recently hinted at having a "dark" side to his persona, which doesn't hold back from beating people senseless.

The Archer of Infamy usually advises people not to provoke him to avoid serious consequences. But what would happen if he were to face the Lunatic Fringe?

Jon Moxley shows no fear against any opponent. Fans love his brave attitude and willingness to not back down from anyone.

That's why Moxley would be a perfect match for the ruthlessness of the US Champion.

Mox has taken down many monstrous superstars such as Kane and Bray Wyatt in the past. He wouldn't hesitate in laying his hands on Damian Priest if the latter ever goes after him.

#2. Moxley has scores to settle with Drew McIntyre

Jon Moxley feuded with Drew McIntyre during his last few months with WWE. The Scottish Terminator had multiple No Disqualification bouts with the former Shield member. During these matches, McIntyre brutalized Moxley with several weapons.

The two-time WWE Champion might have got the better of the Lunatic Fringe at the time, but it would not be so easy for him to tame Mox if the two clashed again today.

The former AEW World Champion has evolved into a much more savage version of himself, who loves inflicting damage on people.

His matches with Kenny Omega and Lance Archer have shown how dangerous Jon Moxley can be with weapons around.

If the two superstars lock horns with each other ever again, it will surely be a treat for the fans.

#1. Roman Reigns can finally have a full-fledged rivalry with Jon Moxley

Jon Moxley, surprisingly, never had a major one-on-one program with Roman Reigns.

The two superstars have faced each other in a singles match only once. It's disappointing that fans never had the chance to explore the story between the two former best friends.

In August 2021, Reigns took a shot at Moxley by stating he couldn't be the "man" in WWE. Moxley left for AEW as he failed to become the face of WWE, as per Reigns.

These words could be the catalyst of a rivalry between the two former stablemates.

Roman Reigns has been unstoppable as the Tribal Chief. He has been the most dominant Universal Champion in history, having held the title for over 500+ days.

Jon Moxley has also been equally successful in AEW. His stature has gotten bigger ever since he signed with Tony Khan's promotion.

If these two men ever get a chance to share the ring again, it would certainly result in a clash for the ages.

Do you think Jon can knock the Tribal Chief off his pedestal?
