Popular American wrestler Jon Moxley, who was known as Dean Ambrose in WWE, has entered alcohol rehab for an inpatient alcohol treatment program.
AEW boss Tony Khan, who expressed his support for Jon, made the revelation via a statement on his Twitter handle. He also confirmed that the company would stand by the wrestler and his wife Renee Paquette (formerly Renee Young in WWE).
His statement reads: “Jon Moxley has allowed me to share with you that he is entering an inpatient alcohol treatment program. Jon is a beloved member of the AEW family. We all stand with him and Renee, and all of his family and friends, as he shifts his focus to recovery.
“Jon is making a very brave choice to get help, and we’re embracing his choice and supporting him however we can. I’m proud to call Jon a friend, and like many of you, I’m also a fan of Mox and look forward to a time in the future when he is eventually ready to return to the ring.
“Until then, thank you for supporting Jon and respecting his privacy at this time. If you or a loved one need help, please reach out to SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357).“

1. Ben Affleck
The actor and director Ben Affleck came from a family where his father was an alcoholic, a habit that he later picked. In an interview that he granted Barbara Walters in 2012, he stated that his father “drank all day, every day,” but got sober eventually.
Affleck stopped drinking in 1997 after realizing that he regretted the things he did when he was drunk. He then checked himself into Malibu’s alcohol and drug rehabilitation center in 2001.
At the time he stopped drinking, he spoke with a reporter via Fox News and said: “I just wanted to stop. I started regretting some things I did when I was drunk. It’s funny to be obnoxious or out of control, but then it’s like, ‘I think I hurt that person’s feelings, ‘I made a fool of myself’ or ‘I didn’t want to kiss that girl.’ I have almost no inhibitions, so it’s dangerous for me.”
2. Eva Mendez
Actress Eva Mendes entered rehab in February 2008 for substance abuse. The actress’ rep said: “Eva has been working hard for the past year and made a positive decision to take some much-needed time off to proactively attend to some personal issues that, while not critical, she felt deserved some outside professional support.”
