Jon Moxley Pulls Out Of All Out, PAC To Face Kenny Omega
Jon Moxley has been pulled from All Elite Wrestling’s upcoming PPV. Moxley announced today that he would have to miss the show due to an infection in his elbow. He posted the following to Twitter:
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 .

“I apologize to all involved, most importantly the fans. I am incredibly frustrated and pissed off. I’ll have surgery this week to remove the bursa sac in my elbow and be done with it for good. Should be a quick recovery so I will be 100% for AEW Wednesday nights on TNT,” a follow-up Tweet from Moxley reads.
“Still, I expect All out to be an amazing ppv and hope all the fans out there looking for an alternative tune in. You will be blown away by AEW and be excited to be a wrestling fan. I’m looking forward to watching as a fan myself”
He then concluded with:
This fucking sucks.
