$3 $3

Renee Young (now Renee Paquette) was still working in WWE when Jon Moxley parted ways with the company due to creative differences. Many fans were hopeful that he would make a jump to AEW as the promotion was about to present its first event named Double Or Nothing 2019.

Moxley came out to a loud pop after the conclusion of the show's main event that pitted Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega. He attacked both men to close the show and took the wrestling world by storm.

Moxley's wife Renee Young left WWE at SummerSlam 2020. In early 2021, she opened up on Moxley's jump from WWE to AEW:

Your schedule is what it is when you’re in WWE, so for him to be able to step away from that and breathe some fresh air – it’s been really cool to see him grow.

It’s just such a reminder to bet on yourself. When you really believe in yourself and you know that there are other things that you want to achieve, so just lean into that and swing for the fences.

Jon Moxley is a former AEW World Champion and he won the belt last year by defeating Chris Jericho at AEW Revolution. Moxley carried the belt for months before losing it to Kenny Omega. He is currently on hiatus following the birth of his first child with Paquette.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
