Note on Austin Gunn Match at Last Week’s AEW TV Tapings, Match Was Never Planned to Air on AEW Dark

– As previously reported, Austin Gunn, who is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Billy Gunn, worked a match last week at the AEW Dynamite TV tapings that was expected to be shown on AEW Dark yesterday. Austin Gunn teamed with his father to defeat Shawn Spears and Preston Vance. However, the match was not a part of this week’s episode. According to Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, the Austin Gunn match that was worked last week was never planned to be shown for an AEW Dark broadcast.

Per Satin, Gunn’s match at last week’s AEW show was seen as “more of a tryout” performance. Additionally, Austin Gunn’s tryout is said to have gone well, and he’s expected to team with his father again at tonight’s TV tapings. It appears the planned match will “likely” air on the next edition of AEW Dark that will be released next week.

For those wondering, sources say Billy Gunn’s match w/ son Austin Gunn taped at Dynamite last week was never intended to be on Dark & was more of a tryout.

I’m told the tryout went well & Austin will team w/ Billy again tonight for a match that will likely air on Dark next week.
