As of now, Moxley is signed with All Elite Wrestling, and his contract reportedly runs through 2027, so it’s unlikely that this would happen. Still, there are a few major reasons why WWE needs to bring back Dean Ambrose, if only for one night, at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

#3. WWE is closing the door on the Shield chapter forever

Roman Reigns has already affirmed that he will close the chapter on his history with Rollins at The Biggest Party of the Summer. This means that their SummerSlam bout will ultimately mark the end of The Shield’s story in the Triple H-led promotion

Considering this, the company should bring Jon Moxley back for a one-night appearance at the upcoming show in Minneapolis. His presence would serve as the perfect tribute to the Hounds of Justice, marking a full-circle moment.

Additionally, it would be a fitting way to honor one of WWE’s most beloved alliances in professional wrestling history.

#2. History with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins

Being a former member of The Shield, Dean Ambrose shares a major history with both The Bloodline leader and The Architect. When The Visionary betrayed Reigns and Ambrose, the duo remained united for a few months but eventually went their separate ways.

Despite this, Moxley remained involved in several memorable rivalries with both Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, while The Shield also reunited multiple times.

His history with Roman and Seth is enough to make him a major factor at SummerSlam 2026. Which is why WWE should bring the AEW star back for one night at The Biggest Party of the Summer.

#1. Featured in video packages, sparking fan speculation

The TKO-led promotion recently released video packages for Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins’ bout ahead of WWE SummerSlam 2026. The videos featured footage of the iconic faction. Interestingly, it incorporated glimpses of Moxley.

Featuring the AEW star in the promotional videos has sparked speculation among fans about a potential appearance at SummerSlam 2026.

With that buzz already building, World Wrestling Entertainment should bring Ambrose back for The Biggest Party of the Summer to make the show bigger. If this happens, the excitement among the fans would be through the roof.

However, as mentioned above, Moxley is still under contract with AEW, so, unfortunately, this scenario is unlikely to play out.
