Jon Moxley Gets Several Responsibilities With New AEW Deal

Stick around for a bit why don’t you. The rise of AEW has changed the wrestling world as there is now a new place near the top of the wrestling world for several wrestlers to go. The company has come a long way in just a few years but they also need to look towards the future. One of the most important things is to have the right people in the right places and now they have secured that for the long term.

AEW President Tony Khan has announced that Jon Moxley has signed a new five year deal with the company. The new deal make him exclusive to the company and its international partners (including New Japan Pro Wrestling) and will see him move into mentoring and coaching roles. While not confirmed, this would suggest that Moxley is done with GCW, where he lost his World Title to Nick Gage this weekend.

I'm excited about tonight's huge announcement that @AEW World Champion @JonMoxley has signed a 5 year contract extension!
It's fitting that Mox will be in action to kick off the first night of Year 4 of AEW up NEXT on @TNTdrama, with 2 hours live #AEWRampage + #AEWBOTB4 TONIGHT!

Opinion: This is a smart move from AEW, as they are trying to get things together going forward. There are only so many people that they know are going to be around for the long term and signing up one of their bigger names to a long term deal, especially with these details, is a good idea. Moxley is valuable to the company and now he is getting some new responsibilities that could do AEW a lot of good.
