Big announcement on Jon Moxley's future outside AEW

The former AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley has been announced for a major match outside Tony Khan's promotion. The match is set to take place after the WrestleDream 2025 pay-per-view.

While Jon Moxley has been one of the top stars in AEW since the inception of the promotion in 2019, he has also made his name on the Japanese pro wrestling scene as well as the indies.

Nevertheless, The Purveyor of Violence is finally set to make his return to the independent wrestling scene after quite a while.

The official X handle of the promotion made the following announcement:

Aside from his return to the indies after over a year, Moxley will also be making his return to the DEFY wrestling promotion after more than two years. He last competed in the same promotion back in July 2023 in a match against Artemis Spencer.
