Tony Khan Says QT Marshall Was Pulled Off AEW Dynamite Due To COVID-19 Concerns
Earlier today it was announced FTR will take on SCU (Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian) on tonight's AEW Dynamite. FTR was originally scheduled to face The Natural Nightmares (QT Marshall & Dustin Rhodes), but they have been pulled from the show.
AEW President Tony Khan revealed that QT Marshall came in contact with a non-wrestling acquaintance who has since tested positive for COVID-19. AEW felt it was safest for Marshall to stay in Georgia and take a COVID-19 test there.
"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," Khan wrote. "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."
Below is the current lineup for the show:
* AEW World Champion Jon Moxley will be in action with Taz on commentary
* Chris Jericho and Orange Cassidy face-off
* FTR vs. SCU
* "The Exalted One" Mr. Brodie Lee and Colt Cabana vs. Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss
* Luchasaurus vs. Wardlow (Lumberjack Match)
* Santana vs. Matt Hardy (Fans vote on which "Version" of Matt will show up)
* AEW Women's World Champion Hikaru Shida in action
* Press conference highlights for the AEW TNT Championship Match at Fyter Fest
