AEW star Jon Moxley reveals what he thinks about Roman Reigns teaming with Paul Heyman and is excited by NXT ratings war
AEW star Jon Moxley has revealed that he thinks the concept of Roman Reigns aligning with Paul Heyman is 'really cool.'
The 34-year-old formed one-third of WWE's most popular faction of the modern era in The Shield alongside Reigns and Seth Rollins.
Moxley - who was then known as Dean Ambrose - has reinvented himself after jumping ship to rivals AEW, where he has become the promotion's longest-reigning champion.
His former Hounds of Justice partner Reigns however has stayed put and cemented his status as WWE's top star.
The Big Dog, 35, pulled out of WrestleMania in April due to health fears over the coronavirus outbreak.
He made his long-awaited comeback at SummerSlam four months later where he turned heel for the first time since his days in the Shield in 2012.
The concept of him and Paul Heyman - that was very cool to me. I think that's gonna work out really good.

Teaming with Brock Lesnar's former advocate Heyman, Regins recaptured the Universal title within a week of his return and Moxley admitted he was a fan of the partnership.
In an exclusive interview with SunSport, Mox said: "The concept of him and Paul Heyman - that was very cool to me.
"I think that's gonna work out really good.
"All my friends there (WWE) I wanna turn the TV on and I wanna see them kicking ass and doing great."
Moxley meanwhile is currently the face of AEW, who reignited their Wednesday Night War with NXT this week and emphatically won in the ratings.
He added: "We want to keep growing this thing. I don't stress about it but it's always good news when we get more people than last week.
"I don't decide what time or what night or what channel we're on so for me, my job is to make sure that the people that are watching have the best experience possible.
"I don't really stress about the people that are not watching or the channels turned to something else - f***ing Food Network or f***ing MTV, NXT or whatever.

"We wanna keep bringing in new fans - Wednesday nights is becoming wrestling night.
"When I was a kid I watched everything so all the kids out there who are like me are probably flicking back and forth between NXT and AEW which is great because when I was a kid I was flicking back and forth between Nitro and RAW.
"So what's happening is Wednesday nights are replacing Monday night. Wednesday is wrestling night for people now."
