Thinking of the tardiness of announcing matches for the show, I can let it slide that the tag tournament meant whatever tag title match happens would be rather last minute. I can also accept that Hager's MMA match meant whether he'd be available was perhaps in flux, since he could have gotten hurt. That's also fine. 2 down in the "it's fine for it to be relatively last minute".
There's not really any great excuse for why we don't have a women's title match announced, or a non-title match if Riho won't be there for one reason or another. That's just irritating. I get this show might not have a ton of matches if some of them are going to be long, but I refuse to believe that they'd do a show with no women matches on it.

This show is a curious case where they haven't announced a whole lot for this card, but the four matches they have announced have all been well built. Certainly better built than anything that was on Hell in a Cell, the logical comparison that you would make in terms of shows with only the top matches being announced in the week before the show.

I'll give them that much. Two of the matches have months of history behind them, and the other two are feeding off of the main angle going right now, Inner Circle vs Elite. They also have some options for what else to put on the show. Hager could easily face Dustin or Darby, Janela would work versus Spears or Havoc, and I guess Bea versus Britt could be pulled out, though for all the build of them being rivals, Bea hasn't done anything to really justify getting a singles match on the card.

Cody just said a match will be announced during tonight's episode of Dark, and another match will be announced on social media tomorrow afternoon.

Guessing either Janela/Havoc or a women’s match. Maybe the announcement of who will be competing for women’s/tag team title shots.

Certainly better built than anything that was on Hell in a Cell, the logical comparison that you would make in terms of shows with only the top matches being announced in the week before the show. Saying Page/Pac has been well built is being very generous. Seems like Dark tonight could have been setting up Jimmy Havoc vs. Joey Janela, which could be a fun brawl. Havoc, Janela, and Darby Allin teamed together at Fight for the Fallen and then fought one another in a 3-way at All Out. If Havoc/Janela is indeed announced for Full Gear, I'd like to see a fresh face or two rotated into these hardcore matches afterward.

Emi taught Riho everything she knows, but not everything Emi knows

Bea Priestley vs. Britt Baker announced for the Buy In on AEW Dark. Dunno if it could get any clearer that they intend to tone down the Britt push but also want to give closure to what they have started.

Riho/Emi should be really good. To think a couple of weeks ago I saw Emi wrestle in a small social club in Dublin.

If anyone wants a preview of what Riho vs. Sakura might look like, it was Riho's farewell match in Gatoh Move from July.

According to Meltzer, Moxley vs. Omega is planned to go on last since it’s a “lights out” match.

Didn’t even think about that but it makes sense as they have already established it as a thing at Fyter Fest. Decent way to have the biggest match main event but keep your World Championship looking strong.

Shawn Spears vs Janela looks to be happening based on what happened at Dark last night.
