Former WWE star Dean Ambrose who is now popularly known as Jon Moxley has suffered a serious injury. Moxley who is currently signed under AEW and NJPW, would not be competing at AEW's upcoming grand pay-per-view "All Out". Moxley was scheduled to face a former IWGP Champion from NJPW, Kenny Omega. This is a huge let-down for all the fans of Jon Moxley and pro-Wrestling. Moxley revealed about this recently on his Twitter post.
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 .

In his next tweet, he apologised and promised to be available for upcoming AEW shows on TNT network.
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.

He later asked the fans to still watch the AEW's "All Out" PPV as he himself will be watching the event as a wrestling fan.
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
