Tony Shiavone welcomes us to the show and tells us about tonight’s matches.
Match 1
Diamanté vs Kris Statlander
(referee: Bryce Remsburg)
Result: Kris Statlander wins via pinfall after the Big Bang Theory
Time: 4:26
Match Thoughts
Pretty good match. Since this was Diamanté’s second match in AEW, I thought she might put up a better fight, but this was mostly just an exhibition for Statlander. Statlander looked very good though. This was a strong match for her.
Match 2
The Hybrid2 vs Best Friends w/ Orange Cassidy
(referee: Mike Posey)
Result: Trent pins Jack Evans after Strong Zero
Time: 8:31
Match Thoughts
Very good match. TH2 ended up having a lot of offense throughout this match. Best Friends struggled to sustain any offense of their own, but Orange Cassidy’s presence helped swing momentum into their favor late in the match.
Match 3
Christi Jaynes vs Big Swole
(referee: Paul Turner)
Result: Big Swole wins via pinfall after Dirty Dancing
Time: 4:47
Match Thoughts
Good match. This was an exhibition for Big Swole, but Jaynes still looked good for her part. Big Swole is really building up some nice momentum.
Match 4
QT Marshall & “The Librarian” Peter Avalon w/ “The Librarian” Leva Bates vs The Young Bucks
(referee: Rick Knox)
Result: Matt Jackson pins Peter Avalon after the Meltzer Driver
Time: 10:31
Match Thoughts
Very good match. Everyone seemed to have a fun time in this one. The Young Bucks dominated a lot of the match, but Avalon and Marshall had their moments. Marshall didn’t approve of Avalon’s methods though, so that ensured a rough night for the two of them.
Show Impressions
Another good episode of Dark with another batch of good matches. I liked it.
Match of the Night
The Hybrid2 vs Best Friends
This was the most fun match of the night for me.
