We&#8217;ve made it clear to Jeff that we&#8217;ll assist him in getting treatment for substance abuse issues, which he has indicated that he&#8217;s open to receiving. In the interim, he is suspended without pay, and he can only return to AEW upon successfully completing treatment and maintaining his sobriety.
