Tony Schiavone wasn't present for AEW Fight for the Fallen due to precautionary reasons.

It was explained at the start of AEW Fight for the Fallen that Schiavone's COVID-19 test result had not returned yet and out of caution, AEW made the decision to not bring him to the show. The commentary noted that Schiavone was not experiencing any symptoms.
