Due to Marshall and Ross Von Erich both testing positive for COVID-19, the brothers are out of Saturday’s MLW Tag Team title match at the Blood & Thunder TV taping in Dallas, Texas.
They revealed the news on Twitter Wednesday night:

Completely devastated. Found out I won’t be able to wrestle tomorrow night because we tested positive for Covid. Never been so prepared for a match in my life. This one hurts, I feel gutted. I was so excited to see everybody it’s been to long but I can’t now. I love you Texas
