Details On Why The International Title Keeps Changing Hands
Added 2023-10-12 18:00:03 +0000 UTCThe championship picture in AEW has been in disarray a little bit due to some injuries.
Jon Moxley was never originally slated to lose the AEW International Title to Rey Fenix, but was sidelined with an injury, and an audible was called mid-match during their September bout. However, there were tentative plans within All Elite Wrestling to get the title back on Jon Moxley for the October 10 episode of AEW Dynamite.
Unfortunately, the day of the show, Jon Moxley was not cleared and was replaced by Orange Cassidy. Cassidy would go on to win the International Title. Although he wasn’t considered for it in the days or weeks prior, we’ve learned that likely whoever would have been booked against Rey Fenix likely would have won the title.
According to sources close to him, Fenix is facing visa issues that will have him out of action on AEW TV. We aren’t sure the length, but the decision was made to move the International Title that was never set to be on him in the first place.

well, I think until Fenix gets his residency approved, he can't leave the country--same issue with why he could not go to london for all in.

My wife left me because I refused to answer to anything other than Bobby Eaton Da Pussy
2023-10-12 22:11:56 +0000 UTCPERFECT Time To Put It On Someone Else- Ethan Page, Roderick Strong, Kyle Fletcher, Miro...No-Brainer, KEITH LEE...They Could Have Elevated Someone & Made Them Someone Mox May Not Beat Upon Return.

2023-10-12 19:51:12 +0000 UTCHope these issues get sorted out. Lucha Bros are the 2 best wrestlers on the planet rn.

2023-10-12 18:59:45 +0000 UTCIirc, PAC was injured and couldn't even make All In in August, so that likely is playing more of a factor unless I missed something.

2023-10-12 18:59:18 +0000 UTCReally hate the timing of all these issues, without a staple of wrestlers who've been built up as viable rivals with an interest for the belt. Kip Sabian, Ethan Page, Shawn Spears, Angelico, LFI, etc. Woukd have all been great choices for the chase.

2023-10-12 18:19:57 +0000 UTCAt least Fenix got a title reign even if it wasn't supposed to happen in the first place.

2023-10-12 18:18:26 +0000 UTCThe issues with Pac are injuries. He was re-injured again almost immediately after coming back.

2023-10-12 18:13:34 +0000 UTCSame could be said for PAC, he hasn’t been seen in a while..

2023-10-12 18:12:27 +0000 UTCI thought Rey Fenix was moving to the USA so he has to establish residency, so, he can't leave the country until this is all resolved--I think same thing with Ethan Page?

2023-10-12 18:07:04 +0000 UTCFate found a way to put the International title back on Orange Cassidy where it belongs.

2023-10-12 18:03:11 +0000 UTCIt feels like the Lucha Bros have repeatedly been plagued with these visa issues. A real shame.
