This week’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured a tag match of Orange Cassidy and Trent Beretta vs. Penta El Zero M & Komander. However, this was not the original booking.
In a video posted to social media before the episode aired, it was announced that the plan was for Best Friends vs. Lucha Bros.
Neither Chuck Taylor nor Rey Fenix were cleared to compete, so changes were made to the final lineup.
In the video, Trent noted that Chuck was hurt worse than they thought, while Chuck noted that his ankle was “jammed up.”
You can check out the clip below:
