After his departure from WWE, Dean Ambrose rebranded himself and began competing on the independent wrestling scene and in other promotions under his former name Jon Moxley. Mox has since become a prominent figure in AEW. However, the transition brought a lot of changes to his in-ring character as well. Furthermore, the former AEW World champion has done some strange things on the independent scene.
In one such instance, Jon Moxley once competed in the GCW against a wrestler named Effy. It was a hardcore bout for the GCW World Championship at the Homecoming show. In the midst of a back-and-forth encounter, Mox made a jaw-dropping move when he lip-locked with his opponent, Effy. The moment kept the eyes of fans in attendance wide open and the clip set the internet on fire as well.

On top of that, Moxley managed to retain his title at the end of the match. After the clip went viral, Wrestling Twitter reacted to it in its own way. They also brought up Mox’s wife, Renee Paquette. In fact, she too reacted to the moment by saying, “Yo @EFFYlives wtf. 😳🤯” in a tweet. Now, let’s take a look at what fans of Twitter had to say regarding the same. Here are some of the best reactions:

Though Mox kissing Effy was a weird moment, the intention was clearly to garner the attention of wrestling fans. And guess what, they succeeded. Although it was not the first time fans saw something uncanny on the Indie wrestling scene, a wrestler like Mox doing that is shocking. Furthermore, he is married to Paquette for years as well.
Who is Renee Paquette and when did she meet Jon Moxley?
Renee Paquette, formerly known as Renee Young, is a Canadian sports broadcaster and television host. She is best known for her time in WWE, where she served as a commentator, interviewer, and host. Paquette was widely regarded for her charisma, quick wit, and ability to engage with wrestlers and fans alike.
In real life, Jon Moxley and Renee Paquette are married. They began dating in 2013 while both were working together in the WWE. A few years later, the couple tied the knot in 2017. In 2019, Mox left the Stamford-based promotion to join AEW. A year later, Renee also left the company to join his husband after some time.
