Abadon vs. Tay Conti not airing on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite
Dave Meltzer confirmed on Sunday’s Wrestling Observer Radio that the previously scheduled Abadon vs. Tay Conti match for Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite will not be airing.
On Saturday’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez said the match taped last Thursday had to be ended early due to Abadon catching an elbow to the throat and having difficulty breathing. The match was stopped and she was sent to the hospital for evaluation. He said no one is really talking much about the situation.
He believes they taped a Shawn Spears match to put in its place but couldn’t confirm.
This Wednesday’s show will feature a TNT Championship lumberjack match between Cody and Orange Cassidy; the second round of the AEW World title no. 1 contender tourney featuring Kenny Omega vs. Penta El Zero M (filling in for the injured Fenix) and Hangman Page vs. Wardlow; and an Inner Circle town hall to discuss whether MJF should join the group.
