In the second match of the TNT Championship Tournament, it will be Lance Archer VS Colt Cabana!

But that’s not all. Sammy Guevara is in action, also looking for a good warm-up before his tournament match against Darby Allin. Will the Spanish God stay strong before that Revolution rematch? And biggest of all, the historic Empty Arena NO HOLDS BARRED AEW World Championship Match! Will Jon Moxley keep hold of “Big Platinum” after going toe to toe with The Big Hurt, Jake Hager?


My Thoughts:

A very short AEW Dark, but still a very good one. I do like that we got this match after that kayfabe altercation from a few weeks ago. Spears and the Gunn Club did a lot of great character work during this one and only match tonight, and it was good in-ring action as well. Not sure what Spears flopping into Dasha was about other than they’re all good friends enough to do that gag. It’s fine that Spears wins, it’s so he doesn’t fall too far off. The midcard will need to be strong now that a title is coming, so an overall record of 8-12 is good enough for Spears to eventually turn into a .500 batting average.

My Score: 7.9/10
