PAC vs. Shota Umino All-Atlantic title match to air on AEW Dark
While the first-ever AEW All-Atlantic title defense won’t initially be on Dynamite or Rampage, PAC’s match against challenger Shota Umino will air on Tuesday’s edition of Dark.
The match will air in its entirety Tuesday with highlights airing on Wednesday’s Dynamite.
PAC is defending against Umino on this Sunday’s RevPro show in Sheffield, England. PAC became the inaugural champion at last month’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door pay-per-view, defeating Malakai Black, Miro and Clark Connors in a four-way.
The title is PAC’s first of any kind since joining AEW.
Umino was also on the card, competing in a trios match alongside Eddie Kingston and Wheeler Yuta against Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara and Minoru Suzuki. Umino has been on an excursion with RevPro since 2019.
The rest of the Dark lineup will either be announced Monday or Tuesday morning as is the norm. For Tuesdays, AEW is still using matches filmed at last month’s tapings at Orlando, Florida’s Universal Studios.
