Jon Moxley is back in AEW!
On November 2 it was announced by Tony Khan that Moxley had checked himself into an inpatient alcohol treatment program. Moxley was taking part in the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament at the time and was replaced by Miro. The former AEW World Champion’s return to the promotion was announced yesterday, just under three months after his departure.
Mox opened the January 19 episode of Dynamite and addressed his absence, thanking everyone who stuck by his side. He even told one fan who screamed something at him to "f*ck off," even calling them a piece of shit. He then talked about how he had a black cloud hanging over him, but that he doesn't run from demons, he just beats the shit out of them. He concluded by saying that he is going on a pilgrimage in 2022 and challenges anyone in the locker room to come after him.
Moxley is truly free.
