Jon Moxley hasn't wrestled for AEW since dropping the IWGP Heavyweight Title to Tetsuya Naito at Forbidden Door on 30 June, and fans have been wondering where the Blackpool Combat Club star is. Well, wonder no more. News has filtered in regarding Mox.

The Wrestling Observer reports that Tony Khan handed Moxley some time off following the pay-per-view. It's unknown whether this was hastily-arranged or the plan all along before that show, but Jon is on the shelf for the time being.

Dave Meltzer didn't say anything about exactly when fans can expect to see Moxley back on episodes of Dynamite either. That's anyone's guess, but it's be a surprise if Mox was content to sit on the sidelines and miss the upcoming All In London card at Wembley Stadium.

That'll be a massive occasion for All Elite, and it makes sense to believe every wrestler on the roster is desperate to play a part. So, don't be too shocked if Moxley shows back up in coming weeks to build towards something on that pay-per-view.

For now, he's on a break from TV.
