Popular AEW Commentator Reveals Why He Will Miss This Week’s Dynamite Taping

Last week, former ECW and WWE wrestler Taz revealed on social media that he sadly needs his shoulders and knees replaced. And while he added that he is putting this off for as long as possible, he has now disclosed on X that he will miss this week’s episode of Dynamite because he cannot travel following some recent treatment. Still, he will ease fans’ minds by confirming he’ll be back next week.

56-year-old Taz retired from the ring 2002, although they would have a one-off match in 2006 against Jerry Lawler that lasted less than a minute. Subsequently, he became a color commentator for WWE and later TNA before taking a short break from the business and hosting a syndicated morning radio show. Still, with pro wrestling as his life’s true passion, he signed with AEW in 2019 and resumed announcer duties, in addition to leading his own faction known as Team Taz between 2020 and 2022.
