Jon Moxley's AEW Return CONFIRMED!
Finally, the former AEW World Champion is coming back to Dynamite...
This week's loaded episode of AEW Dynamite just got a little more exciting with confirmation that Jon Moxley will return for the show.
AEW confirmed this via Twitter on Tuesday, announcing Mox's impending comeback ahead of tonight's show:-

That AEW didn't announce a match for Moxley suggests he'll be involved in the show in a non-wrestling capacity.
This will be the first time Mox has been around in All Elite Wrestling since early November, when it was announced that he was entering an inpatient alcohol treatment program. It was reported at the time that Moxley was being set up for a potential World Title program with 'Hangman' Adam Page prior to his departure, with many picking him to win the then-ongoing World Title Eliminator tournament to earn contention.
Updates on Moxley's status have been few and far between since November, though he is due to put his GCW World Title on the line against Homicide at this weekend's The WRLD On GCW 2022 event in New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. This was announced a few weeks ago, leading to reports that AEW president Tony Khan would likely want to bring him back prior to that.
