Tonight’s main event for Impact Wrestling’s Hard To Kill was supposed to feature The Motor City Machine Guns and Rich Swann face The Good Brothers and Kenny Omega. Unfortunately, Alex Shelley was forced to off the card for an unspecified reason and replaced by Moose in the main event.
Shelley has now spoken out over the situation, revealing it is not COVID-19, nor is he “orthopedically injured.” IMPACT posted a video message from Shelley, just revealing the situation was out of his control.
“There are certain things in life that are just out of our control, and unfortunately, my ability to compete at Hard to Kill has been dropped into that bucket,” Shelley said. “So, on that note — I owe an apology to Chris Sabin. I owe an apology to Rich Swann. I owe one to the fans, and I owe a receipt to The Good Brothers and Kenny Omega. I don’t like getting beat up by you, but I’ve accepted that that’s happened multiple times, and I was looking forward to returning the favor. You’ll get that in the mail, you’ll keep the yellow copy. “I assure everyone out there, I don’t have COVID. I am not orthopedically injured, but in the interest in safety, my situation is a very complex one. I put that first, as does Impact management, and they are doing the most in terms of precautions to make sure nobody is at risk at Hard to Kill or going forward. However, as a transient figure in pro wrestling, I promise you that no matter what I’ll be back in Impact. You can count on that.”
Whatever the situation is, we wish the best of luck to Alex Shelley for a speedy recovery and the best of health for him. Hard to Kill takes place tonight, starting at 8p ET.
