The number one contender for the AEW World Championship (Lance Archer) took to Twitter today to reveal that he’s tested positive for COVID-19. He says he was exposed to a family member who was sick. With that being said, he’ll be out of action for the next several weeks.
Archer was scheduled to team up with Brian Cage and Ricky Starks tonight on Dynamite to face Jon Moxley, Darby Allin, and Will Hobbs. Moxley tweeted the following today, saying,
“Change of plans. I’m putting up the title tonight. Live TV babe. #AEWDynamite”
AEW has since confirmed that it will be Moxley defending his title against Eddie Kingston tonight.
As of now, Lance Archer is scheduled to challenge Moxley for the AEW World Championship at the upcoming AEW Anniversary Show on Wednesday, October 14.
