Brandon Cutler continues to be on a hot streak. He&#8217;s becoming the hot-tag guy of AEW Dark, and I like it. Nakazawa was up to his antics with his Turkish oil against both members of TH2 early in the match. Nakazawa did a lot of avoiding, but it wasn&#8217;t until Cutler got tagged in that their team really started to get some offense. This was fun. Also, I think we should be looking for a partner for Brandon Cutler, not for Shawn Spears.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Outside the Venue<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nShiavone and Gonzalez talk about Ford versus Riho.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Penelope Ford<\/strong> w\/ Kip Sabian <strong>vs Riho<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Bryce Remsburg)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e73803cc429','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e73803cc429\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e73803cc429\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Penelope Ford wins via pinfall with a bridging fisherman suplex<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 6:06<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match.

The referee tossed all of the extra guys at ringside before the match even started, so this was a straight-up one on one match (mostly). Grayson was quick and aggressive, but Daniels was full of energy and experience. This was a nice back and forth battle that could have gone either way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Ring Area<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nAfter the match, a creeper attacks Daniels. Grayson beats on Daniels too, then Silver and Reynolds join in. SCU and Colt Cabana run down to even the odds. Evil Uno comes out last.
