The AEW color commentator cited his surgically replaced knee and other medical appointments for his absence via social media (see below).<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> My Dad underwent knee replacement surgery a few weeks after Taz, and it&#8217;s definitely been a grind for him to get back in the swing of things. Here&#8217;s wishing Taz the best in his ongoing recovery. Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see who fills in for Taz this week. Normally, I would assume that Nigel McGuinness would step in, but he will be working a match at Forbidden Door. Ian Riccaboni indicated via social media that he is making the trip, so perhaps he will fill in at the Dynamite and\/or Collision tapings on Wednesday. My guess is they will go with the usual hodgepodge of announcers at the Forbidden Door, perhaps including Jim Ross and Matt Menard to along with broadcast team regulars Excalibur and Tony Schiavone.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I will be off this week, a combo of doctors appointments\/imaging test on a couple of future surgeries, some R&amp;R &amp; most importantly my new knee does not cooperate to well w\/very long flights at the moment.<br \/>\nHope u all enjoy <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AEWDynamite?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AEWDynamite<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ForbiddenDoor?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ForbiddenDoor<\/a> !<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 taz (@OfficialTAZ) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OfficialTAZ\/status\/1957801114419577292?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 19, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" async=\"\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-1448426261\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":147962,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2837,2],"tags":[2486,5218,2726,1428,201,4537,167,1447],"class_list":["post-176389","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aew-news","category-newsticker","tag-aew","tag-aew-forbidden-door","tag-excalibur","tag-ian-riccaboni","tag-jim-ross","tag-matt-menard","tag-taz","tag-tony-schiavone"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
