Jon Moxley has allowed me to share with you that he is entering an inpatient alcohol treatment program. Jon is a beloved member of the AEW family. We all stand with him and Renee, and all of his family and friends, as he shifts his focus to recovery.
It has now been reported by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that prior to the change of plans, Jon Moxley was set to undergo a personality change. It wasn't specified if it was going to be a new babyface gimmick or a full-blown heel turn.
The signs were there for a heel turn, as Moxley squashed Wheeler Yuta before destroying 10 of the Dark Order in the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament.
Jon Moxley's promos also hinted towards a heel turn as he was more unhinged than ever. He was truly intent on doing as much damage as possible without caring about who got in his way.
Orange Cassidy and Jon Moxley were set to square off on AEW Dynamite but the latter was replaced by Miro. The Redeemer won the match to set up a date against Bryan Danielson at AEW Full Gear. The winner becomes the number one contender for the AEW World Championship.
Miro wanted to fight God and he got Bryan Danielson
