"Good to see you back" - Twitter reacts to Jon Moxley's return on AEW Dynamite
Three months ago, Jon Moxley took a sabbatical from the AEW ring and checked himself into rehab to deal with his troubling alcohol addiction.
For him, the fight against his personal demons may have been the toughest of his entire career. But Mox fought his issues and made a triumphant return to AEW Dynamite this week.
Social media was abuzz with messages of support and joy for the former AEW World Champion. Everyone from wrestlers, fans, and Moxley's family was over the moon to see him back in the ring doing what he loves.

Jon Moxley, your speech tonight has inspired me. My health issues have left me feeling hopeless, tired, and wanting to give up.
Jon Moxley, your words were so powerful. Thank you. Thank you for your courage. You’ve helped more people than you realize. I’m 1 of em. #AEWDynamite https://t.co/DGzeV0PoL0

Jon Moxley's return match won't be in AEW
Moxley addressing the fans in Washington D.C. was more than the crowd could have asked for when they bought tickets to the show. However, the former world champion's in-ring return will occur outside AEW.
Jon Moxley has been the GCW Heavyweight Champion since September 2021. With the promotion's biggest show on the horizon, he will defend the title for the first time in three months against another unpredictable competitor.
Moxley will face former IMPACT Tag Team Champion and independent wrestling icon, Homicide at "The WRLD on GCW" event in the Hammerstein Ballroom on January 23.
The GCW Heavyweight Champion won't be the only AEW talent at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Ruby Soho will be in action against GCW stand-out Allie Katch, while Joey Janela will participate in a grudge match against Matt Cardona.
