Another week means at least one more WWE Network Hidden Gems addition! For those unaware, each week the WWE Network updates the Hidden Gems section in the vault with one or more videos, which can cover anything from content spanning the 1950’s to the modern decade. This can include rarely seen matches or promos, raw footage, content thought to be lost to time, dark matches, and beyond.

This week’s addition to the Hidden Gems section will be another dark match, but a bit more modern than last week’s with Alundra Blayze. AJ Styles’ dark match before RAW from 2001 will be added to the WWE Network archives on Thursday. The match took place on July 9th of that year, and he faced off against Rick Michaels. It seems likely this will be the only gem added this week, however with it being a bit earlier than the usual time we release the information, it’s always possible something else is paired with it. Still – it’s best to assume this will be all that’s added this week but if anything else is set to arrive, we’ll be sure to make note of it. Keep in mind, however, if you’re not into this Hidden Gem, at least one more will become available next week!

Below is the synopsis for the upcoming WWE Network Hidden Gems addition:

“WWE 07/09/2001 – AJ Styles vs Rick Michaels See a young AJ Styles compete before the WWE audience long before his official debut in this dark match against Rick Michaels.”
