Recent AEW Match Cancelled Due To Star Not Wanting To Put Over Opponent

AEW

The October 20 episode of AEW Rampage only featured three matches rather than the usual four that take place on the show.

The show featured the Rocky Romero vs Mistico match, as well as a three-way between Kip Sabian, John Silver and Isiah Kassidy to determine a contender for the International Championship.

However, another match was booked for the show, and the reason that didn’t take place has now been revealed.

In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer noted that a match between Komander and Metalik was bookd for the show, but ended up being pulled due to Metalik not wanting to over Komander.

He wrote:

The reason the 10/20 Rampage show had only three matches instead of four is because Komander vs. Metalik was booked for the show and then pulled when Metalik refused to put Komander over.

Metalik still worked Collision a few days later but that can’t have helped his standing here. 

Meltzer also noted that Komander may have to drop his championships in AAA due to commitments with AEW.
