Moxley & Danielson will face The Varsity Blonds (Griff Garrison & Brian Pillman Jr.) on Dynamite this Wednesday night. William Regal will be in Moxley & Danielson’s corner, while Julia Hart will accompany The Varsity Blonds.

Tony Khan tweeted: “Tomorrow night, Varsity Blonds @griffgarrison1/@FlyinBrianJr, with @TheJuliaHart in their corner, aim for the biggest win of their pro wrestling careers vs @JonMoxley + @bryandanielson, trained by @RealKingRegal, LIVE on Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite on @TBSNetwork @ 8pm ET/7pm CT”

Moxley & Danielson have been a team since the aftermath of their match against each other at AEW’s Revolution pay-per-view earlier this month. Regal made his AEW debut at that PPV and helped unite Moxley & Danielson.

Over the past two weeks, Moxley & Danielson have defeated The Workhorsemen (JD Drake & Anthony Henry) and Chuck Taylor & Wheeler Yuta on Dynamite. Yuta showed interest in joining Moxley, Danielson, and Regal after their match.

This week’s Dynamite is taking place at the H-E-B Center in Cedar Park, Texas. The updated lineup for the show is listed below:

  • Eight-man tornado tag match: Sting, Darby Allin & The Hardys vs. Private Party, The Butcher & The Blade
  • Chris Jericho & Daniel Garcia vs. John Silver & Alex Reynolds
  • Jon Moxley & Bryan Danielson vs. The Varsity Blonds
  • Red Velvet vs. Leyla Hirsch (Kris Statlander banned from ringside)
  • MJF speaks
  • CM Punk appears in person for the first time since Revolution

The Varsity Blonds officially sign with AEW

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Brian Pillman Jr. and Griff Garrison of the Varsity Blondes have officially signed with All Elite Wrestling.

AEW confirmed both Pillman and Garrison had signed this afternoon on social media. Both team regularly together as the Varsity Blonds, with Julia Hart (no relation to the Hart wrestling family) serving as their manager. Fightful had reported earlier in the day that both were to be signed to full term deals, and that Pillman was finishing up with MLW “very soon”.

Both Garrison and Pillman had wrestled regularly for AEW during the pandemic. Garrison started to appear for AEW in June of last year, with Pillman making appearances the following month. Both were put together starting in September and have since adopted the name Varsity Blondes.

Pillman has been wrestling since 2017, signing with MLW the following year. Garrison, who started wrestling in 2016, previously made appearances for Ring of Honor as one half of The Master and The Machine, with Marcus Kross as his tag team partner.
