Brody King Reveals Reason For His Abscense for 4/8 AEW Dynamite Show

As noted before, Brody King was recently pulled from tonight’s AEW Dynamite show in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada due to undisclosed personal reasons.

King provided an update earlier today on Twitter thanking Bandido for filling him for him at the show and revealed that the reason for his abscense is due to him attending a funeral of a friend who recently passed away.

“I promise I would much rather be at Dynamite than having to attend my friends funeral. Thank you to Bandido for being the best partner and stepping up in my absence and thank you to Tony for giving me the ability to be with my friends and family at this time. #Boluedersforver”
