In one of AEW's biggest stories in its recent history, Jon Moxley went into rehab in November last year to recover from a drinking addiction.
The former AEW World Champion is considered to be a part of the 'cream of the crop' on Tony Khan's current roster. Since his debut in 2019, he has been a massive asset to the company. The anti-hero personality he portrays has gone up against the likes of Kenny Omega, Chris Jericho, Bryan Danielson, and many other high-profile stars.
Moxley recently spoke about his experience on The Sessions, recounting Tony Khan's reaction.

I don't have a phone, so I don't know what the reaction is, but I knew it was out there. It was like a weight was lifted off my shoulder. It's this thing I was hiding from people for so long. once it was 'everyone knows, f*ck em, I don't care.' They can call me whatever names they want, I don't give a shit. I'm doing whatever I have to do for myself, f*ck em. Credit to them, AEW and Tony, they were totally cool. He said, 'If you never came back, that would have been cool.' They didn't bug me. When I came back it was just, 'Well, I guess I should probably come back now.'" (H/T: Fightful)
As of now, Moxley is perfectly healthy and in the prime of his AEW run. Only time will tell how much he will accomplish in the coming years.
