Scorpio Sky not medically cleared for match, backstage news on AEW agents

Scorpio Sky was not medically cleared to wrestle his scheduled match against Kip Sabian for this Friday’s Rampage. Tony Khan announced to the AEW audience last night in Albany, N.Y. that Komander would replace Sky in the match taped later that night.

In other AEW backstage news, Scott Garland (formerly known as Scotty 2 Hotty) was backstage during last night’s AEW Dynamite in Albany, working as an agent on a tryout basis. Garland previously worked as a coach for WWE/NXT from 2016-’21. After he was released, he returned to the ring as a wrestler. Garland tweeted on July 24 that he had just returned from a three-week tour in Europe.

According to PWInsider, AEW hired Chris Hero full-time as an agent. He began with the company in that role on a trial basis on June 17 (the debut of Collision).
