AEW announcer Taz has announced that he will be missing this week’s AEW television tapings from the UK, including this Sunday’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view. He cited upcoming medical appointments and issues with long flights as the reason for his absence.
In a post on his social media on Tuesday morning, the “Human Suplex Machine” explained why he would not be a part of the broadcast team for AEW’s week-long tour of the United Kingdom.
“I will be off this week, a combo of doctors appointments/imaging test on a couple of future surgeries, some R&R & most importantly my new knee does not cooperate to well w/very long flights at the moment,” Taz wrote. “Hope u all enjoy #AEWDynamite & #ForbiddenDoor !”
The company will be in Glasgow, Scotland, for the go-home episode of Dynamite before heading to London, England, for the AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door pay-per-view from Wembley Stadium.
