We're a little over a week away from AEW All Out, and if you're familiar with the card, one of the marquee matches has just been turned on it's head. The rivalry between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley was supposed to come to a head at the event, but Moxley tweeted the following this afternoon;

I'm absolutely gutted to have to deliver this news but I'd rather it come directly from me. In a nightmare scenario, a serious case of MRSA has returned in my elbow. The timing couldn't be worse. In this circumstance I am forced to pull out of the fight 8/31 vs Omega at All Out.

I apologize to all involved, most importantly the fans. I am incredibly frustrated and pissed off. I'll have surgery this week to remove the bursa sac in my elbow and be done with it for good. Should be a quick recovery so I will be 100% for AEW Wednesday nights on TNT.

Still, I expect All out to be an amazing ppv and hope all the fans out there looking for an alternative tune in. You will be blown away by AEW and be excited to be a wrestling fan. I'm looking forward to watching as a fan myself.

This fucking sucks.

Moxley suffered from an MRSA (a staph virus resistant to antibiotics) which kept him off of WWE TV towards the end of his contract. It's unfortunate news for AEW, but the company was quick to name a suitable replacement;



I'm a big Moxley fan but this one has me excited. It will be interesting to see how they develop the match between PAC and Omega in short order. With that, take a look at the rest of the card;

AEW World Championship Chris Jericho vs. Adam "Hangman" Page
Kenny Omega vs. PAC
AAA Tag Team Championship Ladder Match Lucha Brothers (c) vs. The Young Bucks
Cody vs. Shawn Spears (w/Tully Blanchard)
Best Friends vs. Dark Order (Winner gets a bye in tag team championship tournament)
Joey Janela vs. Jimmy Havoc vs. Darby Allin
Riho vs. Hikaru Shida
Women's Casino Battle Royale (Winner receives shot at inaugural women's title) Confirmed entrants: Britt Baker, Jazz, Sadie Gibbs, Teal Piper, Big Swole, Aerial Monroe, Brandi Rhodes, Nyla Rose, Allie, Yuka Sakazaki, Ivelisse
Private Party vs. Angelico & Jack Evans (The Buy-In pre-show)

I'm also interested in the Women's Casino Battle Royal. Jazz has been making a splash in NWA, Sadie Gibbs debut, Roddy Piper's daughter Teal, and the person I'm most hyped about Ivelisse. Ivelisse has been vocal for the past few years of being bound by a questionable contract with Lucha Underground which wouldn't allow her to compete elsewhere, but as the show is more or less dead the contract was virtually frozen. I was a big fan of Ivelisse in Lucha and am glad to see she's free.

Who's tuning in?
