Former NXT Wrestler Wrestling On AEW Dark This Week

All Elite Wrestling has announced their matches for this week’s episode of AEW Dark. Most of it was par for the course, however, the show will feature the AEW debut of a former NXT star. Tino Sabbatelli will be having his first match since his WWE release, teaming with Brady Pierce to face Best Friends.

Sabbatelli will be performing under a new ring name, simply calling himself “Sabby”. This is the first match he has ever had outside of WWE. Not surprising as he was trained by the WWE Performance Center.

Sabby has not appeared on television since 2018 when he and Riddick Moss lost to Heavy Machinery. The last two years have seen him compete on NXT house shows with his latest match coming in March against Rik Bugez.

Here is the full lineup for this week’s episode of AEW Dark:

  • KiLynn King vs. Diamante
  • Best Friends vs. Brady Pierce & Sabby
  • Scorpio Sky vs. Aaron Solow
  • Hikaru Shida vs. Rache Chanel
  • Peter Avalon & Brandon Cutler vs. The Butcher & The Blade
