JACKSON COMPETES IN STREET FIGHT WITH THE FLU, FORMER MLW STAR AT TAPING AND MORE AEW NEWS

By Mike Johnson on 2019-12-12 10:09:00

Nick Jackson was extremely sick all day with the flu and laid around all day sick, then got up to compete in the Street Fight last night.  Matt Jackson noted:

Chris Jericho has been going well out of his way to work with a lot of the younger talent on the roster, offering advice and feedback, we are told.  He's made himself very accessible to everyone.

Teddy Hart was sitting in the crowd at last night's taping in Garland, Texas, with his cats.

A story making the rounds is that one of AEW's ring mics was stolen from ringside last night during the taping.

AEW drew in the 4,500-4,600 area last night.  We heard raves about the building in terms of being perfect for a wrestling show.  The venue, The Curtis Culwell Center, has a 6,860 capacity in the round, so with a side of the venue cut off for staging and production, they were close to 75% or so of capacity.

The storyline going forward is that MJF has accepted Cody's challenge and will announce his request stipulations on the 1/1 Jacksonville, Florida episode of Dynamite.  One would think that match and Jon Moxley vs. Chris Jericho will headline the 2/29 Revolution PPV.

A few people have asked me whether Spectrum losing TNT for an hour last night will have a ripple effect on the overnight audience.  We will see.

We haven't heard if they have signed deals but it would appear Alex Reynolds and John Silver will be regulars going forward.  They are both great in the ring so it's a good pickup for AEW.

Scheduled for next week's All Elite Wrestling Dynamite on TNT:

*AEW Champion Chris Jericho vs. Jungle Boy (non-title)

*The Lucha Bros vs. Adam "Hangman" Page and Kenny Omega.

*Britt Baker vs. Kris Statlander - winner to become top contender for AEW Women's Championship.

Set for this Tuesday's AEW Dark:

*The Best Friends & Orange Cassidy vs. PAC & Jack Evans & Angelico.  

*Kris Statlander vs. Bea Priestley.

*Vickie Guerrero as guest commentator.

*SCU vs. Private Party.

*Britt Baker vs. Machiko.
