-- In case you haven't noticed, Jon Moxley has been absent from AEW TV lately - something that is a bit abnormal for him outside of an injury. Fightfulselect.com is reporting that his absence is nothing of concern and that it is simply time off that was already planned well ahead of time. This would be the reason that Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli haven't been factored into plans in the AEW Tag Team Title tournament.
-- Moxley has bookings upcoming in Mexico at the end of the month and he is also committed for Japan in early April, both of which would have put any participation in the tag team tournament in jeopardy. This would imply that AEW creative simply was not going to include Moxley in that tournament regardless of whether he was taking time off or not.
