Brian Pillman Jr To Wrestle On This Week's AEW Dark

Second generation star Brian Pillman Jr highlights an eight-match showcase for this week's AEW Dark, taking on Shawn Spears.

The match will be Pillman's second for All Elite Wrestling. He (along with Spears) was part of the first match in AEW history, the Casino Battle Royal from the 2019 Double or Nothing's Buy-In program. Said battle royal was won by Adam Page.

While working through numerous indies, Pillman's primary home has been Major League Wrestling. His most recent match took place at an MLW/AAA joint show in Tijuana on March 13, as he teamed with fellow Hart Foundation member Davey Boy Smith Jr to face Los Mercenarios.

The son of the famed "Loose Cannon" Brian Pillman was visible in the crowd during last week's Fyter Fest broadcast, on the babyface side of the audience.
