Jon Moxley recently paid homage to his former WWE stablemate Seth Rollins during an episode of AEW Dynamite, marking another moment that highlights their shared wrestling history. The tribute took place on February 25, when Moxley used Rollins’ finishing move, The Stomp, in a Title Eliminator match, drawing attention from fans of both wrestlers.
The Impact of The Shield on Their Careers
Moxley, Rollins, and Roman Reigns first gained major recognition as The Shield, debuting in WWE in 2012 and quickly establishing themselves as one of the most influential factions in wrestling history. Following the group’s breakup in 2014, all three carved out successful individual careers. Rollins and Reigns remain top stars in WWE, while Moxley departed WWE in 2019 to become a leading figure in AEW, where he continues to attract significant fan interest.

Seth Rollins Reflects on Early WWE Days with Jon Moxley
In a conversation on the Club Shay Shay podcast, Seth Rollins described the early ambitions he shared with Jon Moxley, emphasizing their drive to make a significant impact when they joined WWE. Rollins recalled their momentum and eagerness to reach the top, fueled by a growing fanbase from their independent wrestling days.
“Myself and Dean Ambrose especially – Jon Moxley now – we had a little bit of a following because of what we’d done on the independents. When we burst onto the scene, social media exploded. That’s the thing, man, if you get the ball, you make plays, they’re going to call your number more. That was the thing, I was like ‘Just give me the damn ball, that’s all I ever wanted, just give me the ball, I’m telling you we can make this happen. Myself and Jon, we were both like that.”
