AEW Commentator and Manager Taz is going to be taking time away from the company as he recovers from a total knee replacement.

Taz took to social media on Tuesday to announce that his surgery went well, even though he did not receive the post-op room that he had requested. Regardless, his road to recovery is officially underway.

AEW cooked up a storyline angle ahead of the 5-year Anniversary of Dynamite where Taz was the victim of a random assault in the parking lot of the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh. Nigel McGuinness was then brought in to take his place on commentary for the show.

His son HOOK is now out for revenge. The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil called out whomever it was that took out his father on Title Tuesday, but the assailant did not reveal themselves.

HOOK did bump into Kip Sabian backstage who was attempting to avoid The Patriarchy. Christian Cage then approached the former FTW Champion and offered his condolences on the 'loss' of his father.
