You know how it goes with this wrestling world, right? Stuff pops up online, people start chatting, and suddenly, boom, it’s a whole thing. Last year, 2023, was kinda like that with all the noise about Jon Moxley maybe going back to WWE. Yeah, Dean Ambrose, that guy. The chatter got pretty loud for a bit there.

My Brush with the Buzz
So, here’s what happened on my end. It wasn’t like I did some super deep investigation or anything. I was actually just trying to get some work done at this coffee shop downtown. Place was packed. And these two guys at the table next to mine, they were really into it. One was adamant, like, absolutely convinced Moxley was done with AEW and was headed back. He was talking about contracts and creative freedom and Triple H taking over, the whole nine yards.
The other dude wasn’t having it. He kept saying, “No chance, man. He’s built something over there. Why would he go back?” They went back and forth for like twenty minutes. Didn’t get much work done, obviously. Kinda hard to concentrate when you’ve got a live wrestling debate happening two feet away.
It got me curious, though. So later that day, I did what most folks do, I guess. Fell down the rabbit hole online for a bit. Just poking around, seeing what the general vibe was. It was pretty much like those guys at the coffee shop, just multiplied by thousands:
- People dissecting interviews for hidden meanings.
- Screenshots of ‘leaked’ documents that looked fake as heck.
- Endless forum threads arguing the pros and cons.
- Some folks just seemed excited for chaos, you know?
I spent maybe an hour just clicking around, reading comments. Didn’t really look for ‘proof’ because, let’s be real, you rarely find solid stuff with these rumors until it actually happens. It was more just observing the whole circus. It’s fascinating how invested people get, how they build these whole scenarios in their heads.
My takeaway? Well, nothing really solid came out of it, did it? Moxley’s still doing his thing over at AEW, doing those wild matches he seems to love. It never materialized, that big WWE return in 2023. Maybe it was just wishful thinking from some fans, maybe some agents stirring the pot, who knows?
So, my “practice” regarding the Moxley return rumor was basically just listening to some guys argue, doing some casual online scrolling, and confirming that, yeah, wrestling rumors are still as wild and often unfounded as ever. It’s more about the conversation it sparks, I guess. Just another day in the wrestling bubble. Nothing really happened, but people sure talked like it was going to.
