Earlier today, it was revealed that both QT Marshall and AEW World Champion Jon Moxley would miss Dynamite. Though they hadn’t tested positive for COVID-19, they both opted to sit this week’s tapings out.
Both Marshall and Moxley had come into contact with someone who had tested positive for the coronavirus. Khan took to Twitter to praise Moxley for doing the right thing. Moxley was scheduled to take part in the show tonight against an unknown opponent.
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

QT Marshall and Dustin Rhodes were set to take part in a tag team match tonight. However, due to the developments, they were replaced.
Since last week’s show, in his everyday life, QT had brief contact with a non-wrestling acquaintance who since tested positive for COVID-19. Rather than risk bringing QT to our test site, our doc asked him to stay home & take a COVID test back in GA to protect the rest of us here https://t.co/eeN8VmF2nP
