"Who let Vince make the thumbnail," "The pettiness lives on" - Fans aghast at WWE seemingly erasing major AEW star from history

A current top AEW star is seemingly getting erased from WWE history and fans on the internet have something to say. Fans also joked about Vince McMahon seemingly being back in the office.

The major AEW star in question is the current All Elite World Champion, Jon Moxley (fka Dean Ambrose). Moxley departed from WWE in 2019 to join the Jacksonville-based promotion and has achieved remarkable success there.

Many fans still have the desire to see Moxley return to the Stamford-based promotion as Dean Ambrose. However, it doesn't seem likely as WWE are seemingly trying to erase Ambrose from their history. Dean Ambrose was clearly cropped out of the company's YouTube video thumbnail as he was not with his Shield brothers, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins posing in The Shield's attire.

Many fans on X were not pleased with the Stamford-based promotion trying to erase Dean Ambrose from history by removing him from a thumbnail. A fan also jokingly said Vince McMahon probably made the thumbnail for the YT video. Here are some of their reactions online:
