During an interview with Wade Keller of PWTorch.com, AEW President Tony Khan talked about Jon Moxley taking a leave of absence from AEW to enter an impatient alcohol treatment program. Khan discussed the impact of Moxley being on hiatus:
“This is going to have a long term ripple effect. Absolutely. And we’ll see how things go at Full Gear. But Miro taking Jon’s place in the tournament, it definitely changed multiple stories and multiple plans.”
“It was been a pretty challenging week. And Jon is a really good friend of mine. So for many reasons. It’s been hard. But I’ve talked Renee 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.”
