Summary
- Moxley's signature moves were performed by Reigns and Rollins.
- Fans reacted strongly, wishing for Moxley's WWE return.

The main event of SummerSlam 2026 featured a highly anticipated clash between Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Reigns emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle, and the bout included several subtle and overt references to their shared past as members of The Shield.
During the championship match, Seth Rollins executed a lariat reminiscent of Jon Moxley's signature move, and Roman Reigns responded with a Dirty Deeds DDT, a maneuver famously performed by Moxley. These callbacks to their former stable-mate, now a top star in AEW, were not lost on fans.
Following the event, social media buzzed with reactions to the tributes. Many WWE fans expressed a strong desire for Jon Moxley's return to WWE, even though he is currently under contract with AEW. Some fans even voiced disappointment that Moxley himself did not make an appearance in Minneapolis.
Jon Moxley was recently in action on July 29, successfully defending his AEW Continental Championship on Dynamite. The following day, he competed in an eight-person tag team match on Collision, which his team lost. He is also scheduled to defend his title in the Continental Cup tournament finals at All In: London.
