Mark Briscoe experienced an unthinkable tragedy when his brother Jay Briscoe was taken from us far too soon. Jay Briscoe died in a car wreck last Tuesday, and the pro wrestling world is still in mourning. Despite Jay Briscoe’s death, WarnerMedia would not allow Tony Khan to honor his name during last week’s episode of Dynamite. Old tweets from Briscoe haunted him, even after his passing. Now, it seems that WarnerMedia has backed off this stance a little.

It was previously noted that WarnerMedia was not going to allow to wrestle on Dynamite, even after Jay Briscoe’s passing. Now things are much different as Mark Briscoe is booked for his AEW debut.

Tony Khan was very happy to announce that Mark Briscoe will be in Lexington, Kentucky on Wednesday night, where he will wrestle on AEW Dynamite. Briscoe will take on Jay Lethal, and it just so happens to be Mark’s birthday too.
