News Roundup: Top star predicts ex-WWE star's arrival in AEW, Jon Moxley's return match announced, WCW veteran reveals Cody Rhodes' reaction to potential heel turn (3rd January 2021)

#4 AEW star Jon Moxley will return to the in-ring action this month

AEW star Jon Moxley will return to the squared circle for the first time since entering an inpatient alcohol treatment program a few months ago.

The former WWE Superstar will put his GCW World Championship on the line against Homicide, who earned his shot at the coveted title by winning a Do or Die Rumble at a recent GCW Die 4 event.

The bout between Mox and Homicide will go down on January 23rd at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Both men have fought numerous battles on the independent circuit over the years.

Homicide surprisingly showed up at last year's Grand Slam edition of AEW Rampage to help Mox and Kingston defeat Suzuki and Archer.

Considering their rich history, Mox and Homicide would leave no stone unturned to tear the house down later this month.

#3 Konnan revealed AEW star Cody Rhodes' reaction when he advised him to turn heel

Wrestling fans and veterans alike have been clamoring for Cody Rhodes' potential heel turn for quite a while now.

While speaking on his Keepin It 100 podcast, Konnan argued that AEW made a big blunder by putting the TNT Championship on The American Nightmare. Meanwhile, he highly praised Sammy Guevara and even applauded the rising star for his performance against Rhodes.

"They look at him [Sammy] as a star," said Konnan. "People are into him. That match he had with Cody was f ***ing great. I don't think he needs the belt. I don't know why they gave him the belt..."

Konnan assumed Cody Rhodes could soon be embracing the heel persona, based on a conversation he had with the AEW star. The veteran noted that Cody doesn't think it's the right time for him to undergo a character change.

"I think he's turning heel, bro, And I think he actually kind of worked me backstage because I told him he had to turn heel. And he kind of made me feel like, you know, it's not time, you know, but I think he's going to turn heel. Bro, you have to. The people booed when he won," said Konnan.

Konnan was right on point when he discussed the 36-year-old star garnering a hostile reaction during his matches.

The AEW fanbase heavily booed Rhodes when he dethroned Sammy Guevara to win the TNT Championship for the third time in his career a few weeks ago.
