Jon Moxley, born on December seventh, nineteen eighty-five, is a prominent American professional wrestler and actor, renowned for his dynamic performances in the ring. Since May two thousand nineteen, he has been a key figure in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he leads the Death Riders and currently holds the AEW Continental Championship, marking his first reign with the title.
Before his tenure in AEW, Moxley made significant strides in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he captured multiple championships, including the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship. His accolades extend to being named the Most Popular Wrestler of the Year by Pro Wrestling Illustrated in two thousand fourteen, two thousand fifteen, and two thousand twenty-two, as well as being recognized as Wrestler of the Year by Sports Illustrated in two thousand nineteen.
Making his professional wrestling debut in two thousand four, Moxley initially competed under his ring name in various independent promotions. His career took a pivotal turn when he signed with WWE in two thousand eleven, adopting the persona of Dean Ambrose. As a member of The Shield, he achieved remarkable success, including a record-setting reign as WWE United States Champion and becoming a Triple Crown and Grand Slam Champion.
After departing WWE in April two thousand nineteen, Moxley returned to his original character and made a stunning debut at AEW's inaugural event, Double or Nothing. He quickly established himself as a dominant force, winning the IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship in his first NJPW match and later becoming the first wrestler to hold championships in both AEW and NJPW simultaneously.
With a total of seventeen championships to his name, including six world titles, Moxley has headlined eighteen AEW pay-per-view events, a record in the company's history. His ventures into acting include notable roles in films such as 12 Rounds 3: Lockdown and Cagefighter: Worlds Collide, showcasing his versatility beyond the wrestling ring.
