Expect AEW to be without some of their biggest stars for the next few weeks.

A whole host of All Elite Wrestling's biggest stars missed the company's most recent set of television tapings in Georgia.

This is according to a new report from Wrestling Inc. stating that The Young Bucks, MJF, Hangman Page, Women's Champion Nyla Rose, PAC, The Lucha Brothers, and Big Swole weren't at the tapings. This could mean these wrestlers missing more than a month of television time, as the promotion has reportedly captured enough footage to last until the week of the Double or Nothing pay-per-view (23 May).

None of these performers has been featured on the last few episodes of Dynamite. MJF was on Dark last week, though that show was taped weeks ago in Jacksonville, Florida.

It has previously been reported that AEW had told all wrestlers based in locked-down California not to travel for shows. On top of this, the promotion has said any performer that doesn't feel comfortable working in the climate is free to skip bookings without repercussions.

That Double or Nothing is still set to go ahead (albeit from a different venue) on 23 May doesn't bode well, given the absences, as AEW may be prevented from building programmes for some of their biggest names.
