We all know that Renee Young has tested positive for the virus that has changed our lives for the time being. As a result, the AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley was advised to stay home after having secondhand exposure to COVID.

So he had to drop out of this week's edition of AEW Dynamite, and instead, his Fyter Fest rival, Brian Cage, wrestled on the show.

Joe Cruz had the unfortunate opportunity of facing a monster like Cage, and as expected, the #1 contender for Jon Moxley's AEW World title absolutely decimated his opponent on last night's Dynamite.

After the bout, Taz mocked Moxley for staying at home. This was obviously a kayfabe instance, where a heel manager like Taz called out the main Champion for being scared of Brian Cage. After all, Moxley was on the receiving end of a beatdown at the hands of Cage two weeks ago.

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

Despite current circumstances, Moxley is scheduled to defend his AEW World title on the second night of Fyter Fest, July 8. We here at Sportskeeda hope that all Pro-Wrestling personnel power through this COVID wave as soon as possible.
