Jon Moxley is the current AEW World Champion and is scheduled to face Brian Cage at Fyter Fest in a few weeks. Moxley made his AEW debut last year at the promotion's first PPV, Double Or Nothing. Since his debut on the promotion, Jon Moxley has faced the best that the company has had to offer.
Jon Moxley's status for AEW Fyter Fest
On this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it was reported that an AEW doctor took a look at Jon Moxley after his wife, Renee Young, had tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week. The doctor has advised the AEW World Champion to isolate himself until the PPV. The doctor also added that if Jon Moxley doesn't test positive for the virus or doesn't show symptoms till the day the event is taped, he may be able to compete at the event.
Jon Moxley was asked to isolate himself in a hotel, away from his wife. But he didn't think it was the right thing to do as he didn't want to leave his wife alone when she was sick. Moxley and Yong are reported to be isolating themselves in different parts of the house.
