Wheeler Yuta, the ROH Pure Champion, will defend his title against Tony Nese in the main event of Dark tonight. Yuta has defended the title twice since defeating Josh Woods on April 1 at ROH Supercard of Honor. His first championship match was the early May rematch between Woods on Dark.

Athena’s Dark debut will also be on tonight’s show. She’ll be up against Amber Nova. After defeating Kiera Hogan on the June 3 Rampage to win her in-ring debut, this will be Athena’s second match in AEW.

Additionally, tonight’s AEW Dark will see Jake Something taking on Matt Sydal. In the beginning of May, Jake lost his Dark debut to Jay Lethal.
