While the AEW Dynamite episode was taking place, Tony Khan reported on social media that Britt Baker was sent to rest due to an unspecified illness. The showdown between Baker and Ruby Soho was rescheduled for next week's episode. Curiously, Adam Cole had to be absent from Forbidden Door last Saturday for the same reasons as his wife.
It was also reported that Max Caster was also unable to attend on Wednesday due to the same flu. Originally, Max was scheduled to accompany The Acclaimed at the AEW Rampage tapings after the live broadcast.
