Brooke Havoc was the first student Cody ever trained in the Nightmare Factory and has noted he cannot believe how quickly his first student has developed. Cody has said, \u201cThis is my very first student, I never anticipated somebody would be ready this early on, but she did the work and earned this opportunity. (She was actually Britt\u2019s \u201cintern\u201d when she shadowed TV). VERY tough draw for her here, but I love this! Brooke\u2019s true first pro match.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cody must be very impressed with her progression, since he has previously stated that he doesn\u2019t want his student to think they have a free road into AEW just because they are one of his students. For him to break that rule with Brooke Havoc, Cody must see a lot of potential in Brooke Havoc.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Huge Match Cut From AEW Dark<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This week\u2019s AEW Dark was originally advertised as a 16 match show with the promotion tweeting out the huge card on 1\/24\/21 from their AEW Dark Twitter account. However, for reasons unknown, that tweet was deleted and a new tweet was sent out a day later with one match mysteriously absent. That match being: <strong>Ryan Nemeth<\/strong>, <strong>Vary Morales<\/strong>, and <strong>Shawn Dean<\/strong> vs. <strong>Dustin Rhodes, QT Marshall,<\/strong> and <strong>Nick Comoroto<\/strong>. This match is interesting for a number of reasons. First the debut of <strong>Dolph Ziggler&#8217;s<\/strong> brother Ryan Nemeth.<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/01\/22\/ryan-nemeth-aew-debut\/\" target=\"_self\"> Ryan Nemeth<\/a> is an 11 year veteran of the business coming out of the Cleveland area. He was trained professionally by Rip Rogers and has performed for a number of companies over the years including <em>Tommy Dreamer\u2019s <\/em><strong>House of Hardcore<\/strong><em>,<\/em><strong> Nuclear Heat Wrestling<\/strong><em>, <\/em><strong>Millennium Pro Wrestling,<\/strong> and<strong><em> Bar Wrestling<\/em><\/strong>. <em>WWE<\/em> fans may recognize him from his short run in the company under the name of <strong>Briley Pierce<\/strong>, where he performed in <em>OVW, FCW,<\/em> and in the early days of <em>NXT<\/em> between the years of 2012-2013.<\/p>\n<p>One of Nemeth\u2019s opponents in that match was <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/01\/21\/nick-comoroto-aews-next-breakout-star\/\" target=\"_self\">Nick Comoroto<\/a>. Comoroto had a huge debut with AEW last week on Dynamite in a match with Jon Moxley. Comoroto is no stranger to AEW Dark though, having made appearances on the October 13 episode of AEW Dark, losing his debut match against Darby Allin. He later returned on the October 27 episode of AEW Dark losing a match against Will Hobbs. The following month, Comoroto returned on the November 3 episode of AEW Dark teaming with Baron Black in a tag match against members of the Dark Order. Those matches must have clearly impressed AEW officials, granting him a match with a former World Champion in Moxley.<\/p>\n<p>Why this match was cut from AEW Dark is unknown, however it can be speculated that a new direction for newcomers Nemeth and Comoroto could be in the works, and maybe AEW has bigger plans for the new debuts.<\/p>\n<h2>Davienne Debut<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-83505\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-23-at-12.06.55-PM-e1611422667140.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>As we covered in detail when it was announced US indie star Davienne makes her debut on AEW Dark this week.\u00a0 Davienne has been wrestling since 2013 who has competed all over the US and even had a run in Japan with Marvelous.\u00a0 She takes on\u00a0<strong>Tay Conti\u00a0<\/strong>in her debut and will be hoping to impress to earn a spot on the roster.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
