The news of Jon going into rehab comes right after the release of his autobiography, MOX. In October 2021, he beat Dark Order to advance in the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament. The Sun says that he was supposed to face off against more wrestlers later on in November. Now, it's unclear how things will move forward or who will replace him.
