Reported Heat On AR Fox
According to Fightful Select, AEW sources told them the company had planned for AR Fox to be at the All In PPV at Wembley Stadium in London, England. AEW changed their plans and instead booked Christian Cage to be Swerve Strickland’s tag partner in the tag team coffin match against Sting and Darby Allin.
Fightful Select also notes the last overseas appearance for Fox at a pro wrestling show took place back in 2016. It was further stated Fox apparently was not “forthright” to AEW about his qualifications and ability to work on an international level. Fightful Select did not provide any additional details on Fox’s situation.
Because Fox was not going to be able to appear at All In, AEW made the decision to book him to get pinned by Nick Wayne back on the August 23 episode of Dynamite. Fightful did conclude in their report by noting that Fox is “well-liked” within AEW. However, there was still heat on him and it was decided that it would best creatively to be kicked out of Mogul Embassy.
After the November 30, 2022 episode of AEW Dynamite, following his match against Samoa Joe, Tony Khan announced Fox signed a contract with the company.
