The first AEW Dark episode of the year has been uploaded to YouTube:
Following last week’s New Year’s Eve Year in Review episode, tonight’s show features two matches that were taped at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida last Wednesday. Chuck Taylor joined Excalibur on commentary.
SCU (Scorpio Sky, Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) are in six-man tag action against Kip Sabian & The Hybrid 2 (Jack Evans & Angelico). Awesome Kong also takes on Skyler Moore.
The Shawn Spears & Preston Vance vs. Billy Gunn & Austin Gunn match that took place before Dynamite last week isn’t included on Dark. This was the first time that Austin Gunn had wrestled for AEW, though he was an entrant in the Over Budget Battle Royale at All In.
Tomorrow’s Dynamite is taking place at the Landers Center in Southaven, Mississippi. Dave Meltzer reported that — as part of AEW’s tribute to the legends of Memphis wrestling — Dave Brown will be appearing as a guest commentator on the AEW Dark tapings.
