It looks like no AEW talents will be working GCW events going forward.
It seems Tony Khan has decided to put a blanket ban on GCW. GCW is a company that has revitalized the death match genre in pro wrestling. One noteable name from AEW who has routinely competed in a GCW ring is current AEW World Champion Jon Moxley. Moxley recently finished up his run with GCW, dropping the GCW World Title to Nick Gage.
Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter now reports that AEW talent will not be working GCW events anymore.
This also looks to be the last appearance of an AEW wrestler on a GCW show as Moxley, because of his status and being champion and having to drop the title was the only AEW wrestler allowed to work for the promotion.
Unless Khan has a change of heart, the belief is nobody else would be allowed.

Time will tell if Tony Khan will keep this new rule in AEW, but for now no AEW talent will be found on a GCW show.
