Last Minute Change Made To AEW Worlds End
Late change to AEW Worlds End
Dec 30, 2023
All Elite Wrestling have made a last-minute change to their Worlds End pay-per-view.
Keith Lee tweeted earlier today that he has been dealing with an injury since AEW Grand Slam 2022 which had only worsened since ROH Final Battle on December 15.
"Today... I keep it very real with you guys. I have been working through an injury since Arthur Ashe Stadium 2022. It has been mostly well taken care of. Things have been worse since Final Battle. I am trying to get through today for you guys, but I cannot promise anything," Keith Lee wrote.
Lee is unable to wrestle tonight, however, and Tony Khan has announced that he will be replaced by his Naturally Limitless tag team partner Dustin Rhodes to face Swerve Strickland at Worlds End.
"TONIGHT, 12/30/23 #AEWWorldsEnd PPV Long Island, NY @NassauColiseum @swerveconfident vs @dustinrhodes. Due to injury, AEW doctors can't clear Keith Lee for his match tonight at Worlds End. His Naturally Limitless partner Dustin Rhodes has asked to step in to face Swerve TONIGHT," Khan tweeted.
The match between Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland had been a long time in the making as their tag team, Swerve in our Glory, split up one year ago. Fans will have to wait a little while longer for their singles match, however.
AEW Worlds End will take place on Saturday, December 30 in Long Island, New York. Headline matches include MJF vs. Samoa Joe for the AEW World Championship, Eddie Kingston vs. Jon Moxley for the Triple Crown Title, and Christian Cage vs. Adam Copeland in a No DQ Match.
