With the biggest event of AEW's short history only days away an injury is by far the worse thing that could happen to anyone involved in the event. Based on reports two names have come up let's kick off with the minor injury. One part of the first ever ladder match in AEW history Rey Fenix sustained an injury in a tag match a few days ago he actually had to be helped to the back and would weakly been seen walking around backstage. Luckily, Fenix only sustained a minor injury during the match as he competed two days ago in the ring so its expected the injury wasn't serious.
On the other hand though Jon Moxley wasn't so lucky as he shared in a tweet he has an infection in his elbow that has taken him out of All Out. As seen in the tweet below a serious case of MRSA has returned in his elbow causing him to miss the event. The expected recovery time for Mox is around four weeks which would allow him to return ahead of the AEW debut on TNT in October. Now this does bring up the question of what Omega will be doing on August 31 at this point. I will now point out that this could lead to this match taking place on the TNT debut episode of AEW. More than likely a surprise of some sort could now be in the cards due to the magnitude of the event. Either way it was terrible timing for this injury taking a part one of the bigger matches from the event, and now this brings up the questions of what is going to happen at All Out?

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 .
