AEW has announced a change to the lineup for tonight’s episode of Dynamite.
It was announced this afternoon that Wardlow couldn’t travel to tonight’s Dynamite due to a family matter. He was supposed to take part in a 14-man tag match on tonight’s show.
With Wardlow off the show, AEW has removed Brandon Cutler from the other side of tonight’s tag match. It will now be a 12-man tag match with The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, MJF, Jake Hager, Santana, Ortiz & Sammy Guevara) facing Best Friends (Trent & Chuck Taylor), The Varsity Blondes (Brian Pillman Jr. & Griff Garrison) & Top Flight (Darius & Dante Martin).
Jake “The Snake” Roberts also tweeted today that he won’t be able to appear on Dynamite tonight. Roberts noted that his absence is due to an illness that isn’t COVID-19: “Unfortunately, I won’t be able to appear tonight due to illness (not COVID). These days we all have to be on point. Looking forward to seeing everyone in two weeks. In the meantime, keep an eye on Lance [Archer] for me on #AEWDynamite LIVE TONIGHT 8/7c on TNT”
Here’s the updated lineup for tonight’s show:
AEW World Champion Kenny Omega (w/ Don Callis) vs. Joey Janela (w/ Sonny Kiss) in a no DQ match (if Janela wins, he earns a future shot at Omega’s title)
