The main event of the first ever AEW pay-per-view saw Kenny Omega lose to Chris Jericho in an excellent match. As Jericho celebrated, somebody was spotted walking in the crowd and approaching the ring.

It was none other than Jon Moxley, formerly Dean Ambrose in WWE. The crowd became unglued as fans lost their minds during the unannounced appearance of the hottest free agent in professional wrestling.

Moxley stalked Jericho and laid him out with a Paradigm Shift before shifting his attention towards Omega. The pair brawled all the way up to the stack of giant poker chips where Jon Moxley spiked Omega with a Paradigm Shift to close out arguably the best pay-per-view across all companies in 2019.

Moxley had asked to be released from WWE after having creative differences with the company. He was a huge name and AEW wasted no time in turning him All Elite. Till date, Moxley remains their biggest acquisition and his debut will always be iconic due to the time, place and the fan reaction that accompanied it.
