Billie Starkz AEW debut part of nine-match Dark lineup
Popular indie wrestler Billie Starkz will make her AEW debut on Tuesday’s nine-match edition of Dark.
The 18-year-old will face Red Velvet in the latter’s first singles match since June due to an injury. She returned in trios action along with TBS Champion Jade Cargill and Lelia Grey earlier this month.
After recently debuting in Japan this year, Starkz will also make her MLW debut this January.
Standout tag team The WorkHorsemen (JD Drake & Anthony Henry) will look to pick up a needed win as they face The Hughes Brothers, the sons of WWE Hall-of-Famer D-Von Dudley.
The Iron Savages (the former Bear Country) will make their AEW return for the first time since October as they face Brandon Bullock & Jameson Ryan.
In one of the show’s featured matches, newly-signed AR Fox will face Slim J of The Trustbusters.
