AEW Dynamite Notes: Jon Moxley Not Medically Cleared, Two New Champions, Bryan Danielson Wins TNT Title #1 Contender Match

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.

Khan also announced that despite Moxley’s injury, Rey Fenix would still be defending his AEW International Championship on the show. This led to HOOK and Orange Cassidy interrupting Khan and HOOK offering Cassidy as Fenix’s new opponent which both Khan and Cassidy agreed to make official.

Unfortunately, Jon Moxley isn’t cleared to wrestle @ReyFenixMx for the #AEW International Title.

However…There is a new opponent ready to go!

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.

Bryan Danielson won this unbelievable match, and now he will face TNT Champion @Christian4Peeps THIS SATURDAY on #AEW Collision in Toledo, OH!
