AEW Dark Featuring Jimmy Havoc and Best Friends This Week

AEW has announced the match lineup for this week's episode of AEW Dark. Jimmy Havoc will take on Shawn Dean on the show in a singles match, while Best Friends will see tag team action against Lee Johnson & Musa. AEW seems to be using up a lot more of their pre-recorded content now that we know they plan to resume filming in Florida next month. Previously, AEW had taped enough content to stretch out for months if need be, but with pro wrestling now considered an essential business in Florida, the company can resume more tapings. And not a moment too soon, either! AEW's reliance on jobbers and overly-long video packages were beginning to hurt ratings.

Fans are already looking forward to Havoc teaming up with Kip Sabian to take on the Best Friends in a no disqualification match on Dynamite this week, following the development of a storyline between the two groups over the past few weeks. It looks like AEW is accelerating that storyline as they push out more content. Havoc got pinned by Orange Cassidy on Dynamite last week but got a beatdown from Havoc, Sabian, and Penelope Ford as a reward. Tony Schiavone revealed that Tony Khan booked a match between the two teams at the end of the show.

On AEW Dark Tuesday, Havok will take on Shawn Dean, the company announced on Twitter. Expect this to be a squash match to build up Havoc, who was mostly absent from Dynamite since the early days but has seen a resurgence in the shows taped in Georgia that have aired since the coronavirus pandemic began. We can also expect it to potentially further the angle with the Best Friends ahead of the following night's Dynamite. Dean has previously jobbed to Shawn Spears on a previous episode of AEW Dark.

Likewise, The Best Friends will have a squash match on their hands against Lee Johnson and Musa. Johnson has previously jobbed to Brodie Lee and Wardlow on Dynamite, and he'll be used as enhancement talent once again here. Again, there's the possibility of the angle between the Best Friends and Sabian and Havoc spilling over into this match in some way.

AEW Dark airs on YouTube on Tuesdays at 7 PM Eastern.
