Recently @JonMoxley had contact with someone who had contact with someone who has COVID-19. Mox did the right thing & warned us.

Moxley was scheduled for a match on tonight’s show ahead of defending his title against Brian Cage at Fyter Fest. The match has since been cancelled instead Cage will get another warmup match before the two meet for the AEW Championship.
This is not the only match that has been cancelled due to a Coronavirus precaution. Earlier this evening Khan Tweeted to say that QT Marshall had also been in contact with someone who tested positive for the virus. FTR will no longer be facing Natural Nightmares and will now be up against SCU instead.
Since last week’s show, in his everyday life, QT had brief contact with a non-wrestling acquaintance who since tested positive for COVID-19. Rather than risk bringing QT to our test site, our doc asked him to stay home & take a COVID test back in GA to protect the rest of us here https://t.co/eeN8VmF2nP
