– Despite needing multiple surgeries, Taz plans to return to Dynamite next week.

Taz, a prominent professional wrestling figure and a current AEW commentator, has announced that he will not be present at this week’s edition of AEW Dynamite. Citing medical reasons related to his knee, Taz shared that he is undergoing a procedure preventing him from traveling and participating in this week’s broadcast.

Through a post on Twitter, Taz explained the situation to his fans, stating:

“Unfortunately, I will not be at Dynamite tonight. Been getting some treatment on my knee & procedure on opposite knee this week. Flying/travel just not possible, I’ll be back next week. Tonight’s show will be awesome! Make sure you watch LIVE tonight!”

Taz’s medical issues stem from years of intense physical activity during his wrestling career, which have taken a toll on his body.

As AEW continues to deliver high-energy wrestling entertainment, the absence of Taz this week will surely be felt. Still, fans can look forward to his insights and commentary once he is medically cleared to return.
