AEW returning to Universal Studios for Dark tapings this Friday

AEW has announced its next set of Dark tapings. 

The promotion will return to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida this Friday, March 24, 2023. Tickets start at $20 and are available at AEWTIX.com. The show will run from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time. 

The last time AEW was in Universal Studios was on February 25 & 26, 2023. The promotion taped matches for Dark and several episodes of Ring of Honor’s new weekly show on Honor Club. Friday’s show will only be for Dark, however, as no ROH tapings are advertised. The next Ring of Honor show will be Supercard of Honor on March 31, 2023, from the Galen Center in Los Angeles, California. 

15 matches from the February 26, 2023 tapings have yet to air on AEW Dark. These include Juice Robinson vs. Leon Ruffin, Toni Storm vs. Billie Starkz, Marina Shafir vs. Steph De Lander, and Konosuke Takeshita vs. Cole Karter.

AEW announces Dark tapings for May 1

AEW will be back at Universal Studios for Dark tapings this weekend.

It was announced today that AEW Dark tapings will be held at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, May 1. There will be two sessions of tapings that day.

The first session will take place from 2-5 p.m. Eastern time, with the second session being held from 7-10 p.m. Eastern.

TBS Champion Jade Cargill, Powerhouse Hobbs, Wardlow, Orange Cassidy, Max Caster, Toni Storm, Eddie Kingston, Wheeler Yuta, Kris Statlander, Jay Lethal, Anna Jay, Angelo Parker, and Matt Menard are advertised for the tapings.

PWTorch reports that the Dark tapings were originally scheduled to be held on Saturday, April 30. The tapings being moved to May 1 led to AEW talent being pulled from indie shows they were scheduled for, including PWG’s Delivering the Goods event.

Yuta, JD Drake, and Top Flight were pulled from the May 1 PWG Delivering the Goods show. Darius Martin of Top Flight is out of action with a leg injury and is expected to miss significant time.
