Tony Khan Announces AEW Dynamite Match, News On How Many Matches AEW Taped Last Week, Chris Jericho
As noted earlier, AEW taped a significant amount of Dynamite and Dark footage in Georgia last week. The footage will ensure that AEW is able to put together future episodes in case they're unable to tape more or air live shows due to coronavirus-related restrictions.
The company reportedly taped around 22-26 matches that they can use for future episodes of Dynamite, according to PWInsider.
It was noted that they are also using content created by talent locally where they live. As noted on last week's Dynamite and Being The Elite, The Young Bucks have a wrestling ring set up at one of their homes in California.
You can see the top 5 moments from last week's Dynamite in the new video above.
On a related note, it was reported last week how Chris Jericho was brought in for commentary at the tapings. AEW President Tony Khan confirmed on Twitter that Jericho and Tony Schiavone will do commentary on this Wednesday's Dynamite episode. PWInsider reports that Jericho put in a "super human" effort at the announce table, working commentary for 7-8 hours of live footage on set.
Khan announced on Twitter today that AEW World Tag Team Champion Kenny Omega will team with Michael Nakazawa to face The Best Friends this week.
