Jon Moxley, currently reigning as the AEW World Champion, remains deeply connected to his past despite leaving WWE. He never misses an opportunity to express his unwavering love for his Shield brothers. Recently, during an appearance on AEW Dynamite, Moxley delivered a heartfelt tribute to Roman Reigns in his promo.

The AEW World Champion subtly paid homage to Roman Reigns during his promo, nodding to the camera while delivering a message reminiscent of The Tribal Chief. Moxley called out AEW management, declaring that the show—and everything in it—belonged to him. His words echoed Reigns’ promo from the February 25, 2022, episode of SmackDown, where he asserted the same over Brock Lesnar.

The moment Moxley delivered his promo on AEW Dynamite, fans immediately began decoding his tribute to Reigns. The segment has sparked widespread discussion, drawing attention to their lasting connection. Despite being in rival promotions, the bond between the two megastars remains strong.

Fans continue to hope for a reunion between the two stars in WWE. Moxley, Reigns, and Seth Rollins debuted together in 2012 as The Shield, leaving a lasting impact on the industry. However, in 2019, Moxley departed WWE for personal reasons and is now a top star in AEW, while Reigns and Rollins remain at the pinnacle of sports entertainment.

Despite their differences, their bond remains a defining aspect of their journey in WWE.

Speaking on the Up & Adams Show, Rollins expressed his love for Reigns, stating that he always wants the best for him, both professionally and personally. However, he acknowledged the fine line between love and hate. While Rollins still cares for The OTC, he believes the man Reigns has become must be taken down—and he has embraced the responsibility of doing it himself.

He’s living in his own space, he’s got this kind of narcissistic complex, this God complex going on and I’ve got a lot of ill will towards him because we haven’t seen eye-to-eye for some time. It’s also rooted in love, thin line between love and hate, I want the best for him.

The Visionary played a pivotal role in shattering The Needle Mover’s dream of main-eventing WrestleMania this year. After eliminating him, Rollins delivered a brutal stomp to ensure The Tribal Chief stayed down. With tensions at an all-time high, speculation is growing about a potential Triple Threat Match at The Grandest Stage of Them All, featuring Rollins, Reigns, and also CM Punk.
