Jon Moxley Out Of AEW’s All Out Card Due To Injury
After finding early success, All Elite Wresting (AEW) has hit their first major obstacle. Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega has been removed from their August 31 All Out event. Moxley went to Twitter to explain that he has MRSA and needs surgery. No word on the date of the surgery, but he promised to return for AEW’s first TNT episode on October 2. In the past, Moxley suffered from shoulder problems in WWE.
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

Their feud began at AEW first show Double Or Nothing as Moxley made a surprise appearance and took out Omega to close the show. Since then, Moxley won a non-sanctioned match against Joey Janela at Fyter Fest; with Omega paying back the favor after the bell.
Omega will still compete, taking on PAC in his AEW debut.
