Some big changes have been made to tonight's episode of All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite after Lance Archer tested positive for COVID-19. The original plan for the show was for him to team up with Brian Cage and Ricky Starks to take on Jon Moxley, Will Hobbs, and Darby Allin in a six man tag team match.

That's obviously no longer happening, but AEW boss Tony Khan has confirmed that Moxley will instead be defending the company's World Championship against Eddie Kingston! That's a big match, and one that should definitely generate plenty of attention. It's unclear whether Hobbs and Allin are still teaming up to battle Cage and Starks, but it seems likely.

As for Archer's upcoming title match, that's likely up in the air for now.

Also on tonight's Dynamite is Brodie Lee defending the TNT Championship against Orange Cassidy and Hikaru Shida and Thunder Rosa vs. Diamante and Ivelisse.
