After months of haitus, it looks like fans can look forward to seeing Jon Moxley back in a wrestling ring very soon.
Neither GCW nor Mox himself has confirmed anything yet. However, fans are speculating that we will see Mox back in action after Homicide won a Do or Die Rumble for a shot at the GCW World Championship. It makes sense for this match to go down at GCW’s The WRLD On GCW event on January 23 at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
At GCW’s Die 4 This pay-per-view this weekend, Homicide defeated Atticus Cogar, Gray, Jordan Oliver, Dark Sheik, Shane Mercer, Tony Deppen, Jack Cartwheel, Dante Leon, Ninja Mack, Nick Wayne, Matthew Justice, Cole Radrick, Allie Katch, G-Raver, Colby Corino, Billie Starkz, PCO, and Grim Reefer.
If Jon Moxley vs. Homicide does happen on January 23rd, this will be Moxley’s first appearance since going into inpatient alcohol treatment. Since Tony Khan first broke the news of Moxley’s absence, Khan has said: “I’ve talked to Renee (Paquette, Moxley’s wife) pretty much every day. And it seems like Jon’s doing better, which is great news for everybody. It’s great news for the fans, and especially for Jon and Renee, and for his friends of which I am one.”
So it seems that Mox is doing better and is physically and mentally more healthy. As fans, that is all we can hope for. Whenever Mox does choose to return, it’s no doubt that he will be stronger and better than ever. The prospect that his first match back will be against his long-term friends and fellow death match wrestler, Homicide, is incredibly exciting as well.
It is also interesting to speculate on what Moxley does next. Before his hiatus, Moxley was in the slow process of a heel turn in the AEW World Championship Elimination Tournament. He then had to be pulled from the tournament before the semi-finals and was replaced with Miro.
