There's a bit of confusion about why Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, a hot tag team in AEW, aren't in the tournament to crown new Tag Team Champions.

After Sting retired, the titles he held with Darby Allin became vacant. AEW announced a tournament to find new champions, but it doesn't include the popular Blackpool Combat Club duo of Moxley and Castagnoli.



These two aren't a long-term team, but they've been on fire lately, even beating former champions FTR at the last AEW Revolution event.

Wrestling insider Dave Meltzer asked around about their absence and got a surprising answer: nobody knows why they're not in the tournament.

“I specifically asked why they weren’t in, and there was like, no reason. They just didn’t put them in because, whatever reason – they didn’t put them in.”

Moxley and Castagnoli haven't been on AEW TV since their win at Revolution, which adds to the mystery. Fans will have to wait and see if AEW explains their decision or if Moxley and Castagnoli return to action soon.
