Jon Moxley Entering Inpatient Rehab Program

Jon Moxley Entering Inpatient Rehab Program

On Tuesday evening AEW President and CEO Tony Khan made the announcement on Twitter that Jon Moxley is entering a residential alcohol treatment program. Khan would go on to say he was standing by him as a beloved member of the AEW family and requested Moxley is given privacy. While not addressed yet by Khan, this means Moxley’s World Title Eliminator match against Orange Cassidy scheduled for Dynamite is now off. However, a wrestler’s health and well-being are always far more important than any storyline or match.

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. Jon is making a very brave choice to get help, and we’re embracing his choice and supporting him however we can. I’m proud to call Jon a friend, and like many of you, I’m also a fan of Mox and look forward to a time in the future when he is eventually ready to return to the ring. Until then, thank you for supporting Jon and respecting his privacy at this time. If you or a loved one need help, please reach out to SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

The news has come as a total surprise as Moxley has been wrestling regularly without a noticeable decline in his performances. How long the AEW star will be in rehab isn’t known, as the length of stay is typically based on progress in meeting clinical milestones. Hopefully, though, his stay is a success so he can return home happy and recovered to his wife Renee Paquette and newborn daughter Nora.
