Scorpio Sky was unexpectedly removed from competition on the Saturday edition of AEW Collision after not receiving medical clearance, impacting his scheduled bout against Shelton Benjamin. This last-minute medical update disrupted the evening’s match lineup and prompted swift action from All Elite Wrestling.
Mere minutes before the show’s opening, AEW president Tony Khan made the announcement on social media, informing fans of Sky’s withdrawal. In Sky’s place, his SkyFlight partner Dante Martin was chosen to step into the contest against Benjamin. While Martin delivered an inspired performance, he ultimately fell short in his encounter with the accomplished former WWE talent.
Recent Activity and Unclear Status for Scorpio Sky
The last time Scorpio Sky entered the ring was on the December 6 event for Ring of Honor, where he participated in an eight-man tag team match aired on HonorClub. As of now, it remains uncertain whether Sky’s removal from the AEW Collision match was due to injury or for another undisclosed reason. This ambiguity leaves fans and fellow wrestlers speculating about his immediate future in the promotion and whether a swift return is possible.
MVP and Shelton Benjamin Direct Warning Toward Jon Moxley
Following his victory over Dante Martin, Shelton Benjamin and MVP used the platform on AEW Collision to send a heated message to Jon Moxley ahead of their upcoming showdown. With palpable intensity, MVP addressed Moxley’s well-known toughness, promising an even greater threat awaits him at the hands of Benjamin.
“I want you to know, I know that you like pain. You like to bleed all over the place like a wild animal, like a rabid dog. But you are not the apex predator. Shelton Benjamin is. Wednesday night on Dynamite, you will get punched, you will get kicked, you will get kneed in your jaw, you will get tossed around like a sack of dirty laundry. And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. You are a dangerous man, I give you credit. But this man [points to Shelton Benjamin] is way more dangerous than you, Jon Moxley.”
— MVP, Wrestler & Manager
“You will face Shelton Benjamin and you WILL get hurt very badly!”
— MVP, Wrestler & Manager
The warning sets an ominous tone for the upcoming AEW Continental Championship Eliminator Match, with both Benjamin and MVP intent on making a statement against Jon Moxley on the next episode of Dynamite.
Looking Ahead in AEW
Scorpio Sky’s absence leaves uncertainty for fans and the AEW roster, especially given the lack of details surrounding his inability to compete. The impact was immediate for AEW Collision, prompting a notable reshuffle that placed Dante Martin into the spotlight, though briefly. Meanwhile, attention now turns to the escalating feud involving Jon Moxley and Shelton Benjamin, a matchup that could further shift the dynamics within AEW. As the company navigates these developments, all eyes remain on upcoming broadcasts for more clarity and resolution.
