All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan revealed this afternoon that AEW World Champion Jon Moxley is off tonight’s AEW Dynamite broadcast on TNT as Moxley had secondhand exposure to COVID-19.
Khan praised Moxley for warning AEW personnel, noting that their doctor asked him to stay at home and get tested to protect everyone at Daily’s Place for the AEW Dynamite tapings.
Khan also revealed that as a result of Moxley being pulled, Brian Cage will instead be in action ahead of their title fight at AEW Fyter Fest, with Taz still on commentary.
Recently @JonMoxley had contact with someone who had contact with someone who has COVID-19. Mox did the right thing & warned us. Doc asked him to stay home & get tested to protect us here at our test site. Cage will be in action tonight on #AEWDynamite ahead of their title fight pic.twitter.com/TWbskkzU2Z

Jon Moxley can get slammed on a car, crawl through tacks & fall through the stage, but it’s every bit as cool that he came forward & told us he’d had secondhand exposure to COVID. We test everyone here at #AEWDynamite, but Jon protected everyone onsite like the great champ he is
