AEW President Tony Khan has made an announcement via social media regarding an upcoming match on AEW Dynamite. Rey Fenix, who recently captured the International Championship from Jon Moxley, is set to defend his title against Jeff Jarrett on the evening’s episode of Dynamite in Colorado.
Additionally, Khan revealed that Jon Moxley, who sustained an injury during their previous bout, has not yet been medically cleared to compete. This development adds an element of intrigue to the upcoming title defense by Fenix, as he faces a new challenger in Jeff Jarrett while Moxley remains sidelined due to injury.
Last week at #AEWDynamite Grand Slam, @ReyFenixMx won the International Title.
Both Fenix + former champ @JonMoxley were injured in the bout.
