#4. Jon Moxley injury update

In an unfortunate turn of events, Jon Moxley was forced to pull out of his bout against Kenny Omega which is scheduled to take place on August 31st at AEW All Out.

The former WWE Superstar released the following statement on Twitter:

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. 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

In an update released on Wrestling Observer's Daily Update, Moxley's doctor feels that the former WWE Champion will miss four weeks of action due to an MRSA staph in his left elbow.

PAC, formerly known as Neville during his WWE stint, has already been announced to replace Moxley at AEW's All Out PPV.

Moxley is still expected to face Josh Barnett at Game Changer Wrestling's Bloodsport 2 event on September 14th.
