Can Jon Moxley Cancel His AEW Contract After Just ONE Year?
New report suggests Moxley may have a HUGE opt-out clause.
2019 has seen Jon Moxley become one of the hottest names in wrestling, with the former Dean Ambrose making headlines all over the world since leaving WWE in late April.
It started with his electric debut at AEW's Double Or Nothing pay-per-view. Arriving after the main event between Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho, he destroyed everything in his path, and is now set to meet Omega in an All Out grudge mat after throwing 'The Best Bout Machine' from the DoN stage, then brawling with him at Fyter Fest last week.
AEW announced that Moxley had signed a three-year deal with the promotion soon after Double Or Nothing. Now, it looks like the 33-year-old has a huge opt-out clause.
Per Rajah.com, the terms of Moxley's contract allow him to walk away after one year if, for whatever reason, he decides he isn't happy with how things are going.
This sounds like a sensible safety not from Mox's point of view. After years of frustration in WWE, the last thing he wants is to be stuck in another major promotion should he find himself dissatisfied and unfulfilled. Besides, there's no guarantee AEW will find any kind of long-term success.
