Andrade El Idolo vs. PAC won't be happening at All Out 2021 this Sunday (5 September), AEW has announced.

Tony Khan tweeted the news prior to last night's episode of Dynamite. Attributing the situation to "travel issues," the AEW founder and owner confirmed that the women's Casino Battle Royale would be bumped up from the Buy In pre-show to the main card to take its place, with PAC vs. Andrade now going down on an upcoming episode of Rampage:-

Andrade tweeted the following in response to the news, keeping kayfabe:-

Neither Andrade nor PAC were present on last night's Dynamite. Each was on the previous evening's Dark, however, which was taped on 20 August and saw PAC defeat Matt Sydal with Andrade and Chavo Guerrero Jr. hovering over the match.

Andrade has worked just one AEW bout since arriving in the promotion, defeating Sydal on Dynamite's 7 July episode. His tweet gives the impression that PAC, not him, has been hit with the travel issues, but this hasn't been officially confirmed.
