Now we have some more news regarding Jon Moxley’s contract with Tony Khan’s All Elite Wrestling. Rajah is reporting that Moxley signed a three-year deal with AEW.

AEW higher-ups clearly have plans to place Moxley in the main event scene and position him as one of their top guys. However, if things don’t go to plan for Moxley, there is a clause in his contract which allows him to “opt out” after just one year.

“Jon Moxley’s new contract with All Elite Wrestling is a three year deal with the option for him to opt out after one year.”

The report also states that WWE had no idea Moxley would be appearing at Double or Nothing. It is believed that WWE officials found out Moxley had signed for the new promotion when he appeared on camera at the end of their first show.

After defeating Joey Janela last weekend at Fyter Fest in what was his AEW debut, Jon Moxley will be working with former IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega at All Out next month.
