Jon Moxley Replaced By Cage For Tonights Dynamite After COVID-19 Concerns

Now we can add Jon Moxley to the list of wrestlers on the bench after COVID-19 concerns. He joins QT Marshall of the Natural Nightmares having to sit out of this week’s live edition of AEW Dynamite.

AEW President Tony Khan released the following statement on twitter about Mox.

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

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

Brian Cage will replace Moxley on the show. No word yet on who he will be facing.
