Who Made The Call To Pull Fenix From AEW #1 Contender Tournament

Fenix was injured during his match against Penta this week on Dynamite, so he had to forfeit his spot in the AEW #1 contender tournament. This was not his decision at all.

During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer mentioned this injury and how it is unclear exactly what is wrong with Fenix. He wanted to work, but it was the doctor’s call to pull him from the match.

“It was a doctor’s call — [Fenix] wanted to go, and Dr. Samson was just like, ‘no.” So, he was telling people that he was okay so I thought the match was gonna happen, but they made that call.”

“The Fenix one was because he was trying a move, I’m not sure if I’ve seen him do it before, but he was trying out a new move.”
