AEW has announced a shifting of the card tonight for Dynamite. AEW Champion Jon Moxley had been slated for a six man tag team bout but will instead be defending against Eddie Kingston.
AEW President Tony Khan explained the change, noting that Kingston has a claim that he was never eliminated from the Battle Royal at the All Out 2020 PPV, so that claim is being used for Kingston to challenge Moxley tonight. We are told Moxley had been interested in working with Kingston since he came to the company, so this provides that opportunity:
Tonight on #AEWDynamite Live on TNT at 8pm ET/7 CT, JonMoxley v. Eddie Kingston for the AEW Championship! There were questions about if Eddie’s Battle Royale elimination was valid (Lance + Eddie were the final 2, Lance threw him off the top but not over), now Eddie gets his shot! https://t.co/mySZDyzjmP pic.twitter.com/bXLdmccBuO
