Not unless something hits the moon and knocks it out of its’ geosynchronous orbit with the Earth. If something bashes into the moon and it is of a large enough size it could cause a serious problem.

I choose not to worry too much about such things as there isn’t anything we could do about it anyway.

The Moon is not in a geosynchronous orbit. For that to be the case the Moon’s revolution would have to match the Earth rotation, i.e., the Moon would travel a path that kept it continuously above the same point on Earth.
