Although Jon Moxley is quite busy wrestling for AEW and NJPW in Japan, Kurt Angle believes he will be back in WWE one day.
Both Angle and Moxley, who wrestled in WWE as Dean Ambrose, briefly teamed together as members of The Shield with Angle temporarily taking Roman Reigns' spot in the faction. Angle was highly complimentary of the group, calling all three original members future WWE Hall of Famers.
"Oh, they’re great. The Shield is a future Hall of Fame faction. To be part of it [in 2017] was a load of fun. The three of them - Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean, they have all main-evented and won world championships. They are the most popular faction of all-time if you don’t count the four horsemen," Angle told GiveMeSport.
Moxley quickly made the jump to AEW and NJPW just a few months after leaving WWE, becoming a two-time IWGP United States Champion and a top contender for the AEW World Championship. Despite his post-WWE success, Angle firmly believes that Moxley will be back in WWE, where he once held the WWE Championship.
"I don’t follow AEW, but I get wind of it. Dean wanted a change and an adjustment. Maybe he felt he wanted to work less and felt that he wasn’t being appreciated. He made the decision for himself and if he feels it’s the right decision I’m happy for him. But WWE is the biggest company in the world at it will continue to be. I believe Dean will be back," Angle said.
