More on PAC vs. Andrade Match Pulled from All Out 2021

As noted before, AEW recently announced that the previously scheduled PAC vs. Andrade match for this Sunday’s All Out 2021 event had been pulled due to “travel issues.”

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that his sources had informed him ahead of AEW’s announcement that one of the matches for the event was going to be pulled but it was not one of matches being considered for the main event. Meltzer reported that his sources also stated that the reason for the match’s removal was due to a health situation with one of the wrestlers, which was later confirmed to be PAC.

Meltzer reported that the exact nature of PAC’s health issue is currently not known but speculated it had to be serious enough to cause him to miss traveling to the United States for AEW’s All Out 2021 event this Sunday.

While PAC vs. Andrade was pulled from ALL Out 2021, AEW announced during Friday’s episode of Rampage that this match would now be taking place at next week’s Rampage show.
