Jon Moxley-GCW update
Added 2022-10-09 20:59:01 +0000 UTCJon Moxley is done with GCW for now.
On October 7, it was announced that Jon Moxley had re-signed with AEW through 2027, with the note that he'd be exclusively wrestling for AEW and their international partners. This left his GCW status in question, the night before
GCW sources claim that AEW didn't want Moxley to do the match, and have asked their talent to not work GCW dates for months. Moxley had insisted on finishing out his run there, and is not currently scheduled for any future Game Changer Wrestling dates.
Stokely Hathaway and Morrissey were also involved in the match, to further the ongoing storyline with MJF and Moxley. GCW reps claim that they had no say over the end of the match or how that would play out.
Those that we spoke to believe that Moxley will still have the ability to work independent dates, but believe it will be on a surprise basis if it ends up happening. In the past when Moxley would work indie dates, most of the shows would throw everything they could to make it one of their biggest shows as a result of Moxley being on it.
We asked AEW officials on Friday about Moxley's GCW status, and then today about GCW's account of things, but didn't get committal answers.

Glad Mox is staying the fuck away from that unsafe shithole of a promotion.

2022-10-09 21:46:35 +0000 UTCI'm curious if them not wanting AEW tallent to work shows has anything to do with Brett constantly taking pics with Stephanie

2022-10-09 21:44:37 +0000 UTCTo add and it may have been posted on here earlier in the week, AEW has invested a lot of time, money, and effort to making Moxley one of their key pieces of the company. It would be like WWE letting Seth Rollins wrestle Indie dates. I get it.
2022-10-09 21:40:24 +0000 UTCGood.
2022-10-09 21:27:16 +0000 UTC@excellence, Stephanie mcmahon basically gave GCW the VIP treatment at mania, private suite with her and everything.

2022-10-09 21:19:09 +0000 UTCowner of GCW is good friends with Stephanie
2022-10-09 21:19:08 +0000 UTCJust my opinion, it might be AEW doesn't want their World Champion in death matches any more. The visual might not be what they want to present any longer. Also, to avoid an injury to Moxley or any other AEW talent. Lots of injuries right now.
