Jon Moxley Pulled from Tuesday’s Dynamite Show Due to Not Being Medically Cleared

Tuesday’s Dynamite Title Tuesday show in Independence, Missouri featured a Buy-In Pre-show involving AEW CEO Tony Khan announcing that Jon Moxley had been pulled from the show due to him not being medically cleared from his recent concussion injury.

Bryan Danielson Wins #1 Contender Match for TNT Title

Tuesday’s Dynamite Title Tuesday show in Independence also featured Bryan Danielson defeating Swerve Strickland in a #1 Contender match for the TNT Championship.

The finish to this match involved Prince Nana distracting referee Aubrey Edwards leading to Strickland grabbing Nana’s crown and attempted to use it as a weapon. Strickland’s plans was foiled by Hangman Adam Page who ran out and yanked the crown away from Strickland. This led to Strickland attempting a JML Driver that was countered by Danielson who then popped up and hit a Busiaku Knee for the pinfall victory.

As a result of his victory, Danielson will face off against Christian Cage for the TNT Championship at the October 14th AEW Collision show in Toledo, Ohio.
