Jon Moxley makes surprise appearance at NEW Wrestlefest

AEW’s Jon Moxley made a surprise appearance at tonight’s Northeast Wrestling Wrestlefest 26 event. 

In Poughkeepsie, New York tonight, Moxley appeared in the opening match at Wrestlefest, defeating Channing Thomas. A number of AEW talents are scheduled for the show, including Malakai Black, Penta El Zero Miedo, Christopher Daniels, Thunder Rosa, and Mark Henry. Jay Lethal was pulled from the event “due to a medical issue.”

Both Moxley and wife Renee Paquette have made appearances for NEW in the past. 

Wrestlefest is set to be headlined by a Wyatt Family reunion, with Adam Scherr and Erick Redbeard teaming against Bully Ray and NZO. 

Moxley returned to AEW this week after seeking inpatient treatment for alcohol. He defeated Ethan Page on Friday’s AEW Rampage in Washington, DC, and is set to defend the GCW World Championship against Homicide at Sunday’s The Wrld on GCW pay-per-view at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.
