Backstage News On Why Jon Moxley Has Been Off AEW TV

Join us at the Fifth Annual 80s Wrestling Con on Saturday, May 4th, at the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, NJ, featuring The Four Horsemen, Jake Roberts, and More! 80sWrestlingCon.com.

Jon Moxley has been absent from AEW TV lately, leading to fans wondering where he’s been, as he is one of AEW's top stars and one of the more consistently booked stars the promotion has.

NJPW confirmed today that Moxley will team with Shota Umino to take on HOUSE OF TORTURE (Jack Perry & Ren Narita) NJPW Sakura Genesis on April 6th. Fans have also wondered why Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli are not working the vacant AEW Tag Team Title Tournament, but FTR are in it despite FTR putting over Moxley and Claudio at Revolution. However, one one in AEW is sure as to why they weren't added to the tourney.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported that Moxley is absent because he had planned time off ahead of time and it was known the duo were not going to be available during the tournament.

Moxley has bookings in Mexico next week in addition to his NJPW commitment. His match in Mexico was planned over a month ago as well, but by then, he would not have been available to participate in the tournament.
