Jon Moxley is reportedly suffering from a potentially serious elbow injury, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Dave Meltzer speculated it could be an infection developed during his time wrestling for NJPW’s G1 Climax tournament. This hasn’t stopped him from his scheduled bookings. However, Moxley has apparently been wary about taking bumps, avoiding doing so whenever possible as his elbow heals.
“Jon Moxley has some kind of an elbow injury,” Meltzer stated. “It may be an infection that he got in Japan. He worked shows this weekend for Northeast Wrestling and with the exception of the 8/16 show in Poughkeepsie, his singles bouts were made tags. He pretty much insisted on doing his singles match with Pentagon Jr., and was very careful not to bump on the elbow.”
Moxley will be participating for a number of All Elite Wrestling’s initial TNT shows and is still slated for the debut show on October 2nd. Next up, however, will be his All Out bout against Kenny Omega on August 31st.
If it is an infection that he is currently dealing with, Moxley may take the necessary time to heal. Doing so will at least ensure that he is fully healed for the slew of AEW shows that are fast approaching.Â
