Last week’s of episode of AEW Dark delivered on its promise of being a good episode, and this episode looks to be the same. AEW Dark tonight looks to have quite a few good matches with special appearances by Adam Cole,Orange Cassidy, Bear Country, Anna Jay and many more!
GOOD: The first match of AEW Dark features Adam Cole and Kaun. As a result of his victory over Kaun, Adam Cole maintains his undefeated streak in AEW. This was a good match between both wrestlers, and the crowd was into it and rooting for both of them.
RESULT: Adam Cole def. Kaun
Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: 3.25 Stars.
AVERAGE: After Adam’s match, Tony goes to interview Adam Cole about his match on Wednesday where he teams up with Britt Baker, but Adam tells him to get out of his ring. Adam then goes on to say how he and Britt are better than Orange Cassidy and Kris Statlander and how he and Britt are going to embarrass them tomorrow night.
AVERAGE: In a strong tag team bout, Austin and Colten Gunn defeated Bison and Larintiz. Bison and Larintiz looked good together in this entertaining tag match, and the Gunn Club looked extremely put together as they continued to dominate the tag team division in AEW.
RESULT: Gunn Club (with Billy Gunn) def. Bison XL and Larintiz
Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: 3 Stars.
AVERAGE: Lelya wins the match against Katalina by hitting the running knee. As of late Leyla has been looking more and more “legit” in the ring as of late. Leyla still has more work to do, but she has improved and she has started to get more over with the crowd as of late.
RESULT: “Legit” Leyla Hirsch def. Katalina Perez
Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: 2.5 Stars.
AVERAGE: Lance Archer overpowered Liam throughout the match, which helped Lance gain the victory. Lance looks better than ever as he returns to the ring for his first match back in AEW.
RESULT: Lance Archer def. Liam Cross
Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: 3 Stars.
AVERAGE: The Varsity Blondes wins their match against Liam and Adrian. Even though this match was kind of short, it told a good story between both tag teams. This was a much needed victory for the Varsity Blondes as they head into tomorrow night’s match with Malaki Black and Brodie King.
RESULT: The Varsity Blondes (with Julia Hart) def. Liam Gray and Adrian Alanis
Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: 3 Stars.
AVERAGE: Tony comes inside of the ring to interview The Varsity Blondes and ask them about their thoughts on their match tomorrow with House of Bllack. Griff Garrison says that he is tired of all the mind games, Brian then goes to say that they aren’t afraid of a little viloence.
SATISFACTORY: Red Velvet scores the win over Vipress. I liked how they gave them enough time in this match so they could put on a decent match. The crowd was interested in this match between both ladies.
RESULT: Red Velvet def. Vipress
Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: 2.25 Stars.

RESULT: Daniel Garcia (with 2.0) def. Anthony Greene
Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: 3.25 Stars.
GOOD: Tony interviews Daniel Garcia and 2.0 talking about them attacking people and when is it going to stop? They talk about coming for Inner Circle and the TNT championship. This was a good promo from Daniel Garcia and 2.0.

RESULT: Bear Country def. Brandon Bullock and Jameson Ryan
Aaliyah Alexander WR Star Rating: 3 Stars.
