Tonight&#8217;s card is no exception, as indie stars <strong>Holidead<\/strong>, <strong>Hyan<\/strong>, and <strong>JDX<\/strong> make their debuts tonight.<\/p>\n<p>With her distinctive face paint, Holidead has been working on the indies for several years, including <strong>World Wonder Ring Stardom<\/strong> and <strong>Ring of Honor<\/strong>. With her distinctive face paint, it shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone that she&#8217;s been in a tag team for several years with the mighty <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/03\/12\/before-they-were-famous-thunder-rosa\/\" target=\"_self\">Thunder Rosa<\/a> as <strong>Twisted Sisterz<\/strong>. Given the success Rosa has had in AEW, it&#8217;s not hard to imagine that Holidead could be close behind.<\/p>\n<p>Another indie talent making her AEW\u00a0Dark\u00a0debut tonight is <strong>Hyan<\/strong>, who got her start in <strong>Booker T<\/strong>&#8216;s <strong>Reality of Wrestling<\/strong> promotion. Since then, she&#8217;s worked mostly for <strong>SHIMMER<\/strong> and <strong>AAW Wrestling<\/strong>. She also appeared as part of ROH&#8217;s growing women&#8217;s division. Hopefully her experience will help her tonight when she gets in the ring with <strong>Abadon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least is &#8220;The Real McCoy,&#8221; <strong>JDX<\/strong>, who&#8217;s been working the indie scene across the U.S. since 2017. Last year, he scored his most high-profile victory to date over <strong>ACH<\/strong> at the inaugural <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackwrestlersmatter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Black Wrestlers Matter<\/em><\/a><\/strong> PPV.
