The addition of <strong>Julia Hart<\/strong> to the group has added to the team&#8217;s charisma, giving them a <strong>Bodydonnas<\/strong> vibe. Last month, they faced <strong>The Young Bucks<\/strong> on <strong>AEW Dynamite<\/strong> for the AEW Tag Team Championship, and despite losing that much, The Blondes have retained their spot as number one contenders for the titles, helped by a win <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/06\/20\/preview-aew-dark-elevation-6-21-21\/\" target=\"_self\">last night on <strong>AEW Dark: Elevation<\/strong>, over the debuting Bums R Us (Ray Beez and Milo Beasley).<\/a> At the same time, <strong>Brian Pillman Jr.<\/strong> is looking forward to facing <strong>Miro<\/strong> for the AEW TNT Championship on the June 30 edition of AEW Dynamite. Tonight, The Blondes will be in one-on-one matches when Pillman faces <strong>Bear Bronson<\/strong>, while <strong>Griff Garrison<\/strong> takes on <strong>Mark Stunt<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<h3>Trouble in Team Taz<\/h3>\n<p>Tension has been brewing for quite a while now in the <strong>Team Taz<\/strong> ranks.

It seems like only a matter of time before Cage and Hobbs face off, and it&#8217;s worth noting that none of the Team Taz members will be in Brian Cage&#8217;s corner tonight on Dark when he faces off against <strong>Chandler Hopkins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\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.
