[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Matt Hardy vs. Vary Morales

Sonny Kiss & Joey Janela vs. KC Navarro & Aaron Frye

JD Drake (w/ Ryan Nemeth) vs. Baron Black

Sea Stars vs. Vertvixen & Jazmin Allure

Matt Sydal vs. Mike Magnum

Jurassic Express (w/ Marko Stunt) vs. Rex Lawless & Dean Alexander

TH2 vs. Bear Country

Fuego del Sol (w/ Griff Garrison & Marko Stunt) vs. Ryan Nemeth (w/ JD Drake)

Team Taz vs. Brick Aldridge, Justin Law, & Hayden Backlund

Dark Order (Evil Uno, Stuo Grayson, & Alex Reynolds) vs. Jake St. Patrick, Sage Scott, & Chandler Hopkins

Red Velvet & KiLynn King vs. Madi Wrenkowski & Vipress

The Butcher vs. Jon Cruz

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

TH2 vs. Bear Country is the most interesting match, especially since Bear Country have a promoted match on Dynamite tomorrow. Probably a big win for the bears, delightfully.

Sea Stars wrestling two of the Texans is also really cool, and obviously a win for them given Vox's trajectory if nothing else. Velvet & King still teaming up is also cool - keeping up Velvet's connection to both King and Swole has been a nice step in the direction of having defined characters, if only through alliances.

Fuego has a prayer of winning, although Nemeth is most likely taking that matchup.

Why's Fuego got so many guys with him?

The card refers to them as the "Vlog Crew" because they're associated on Sammy's Vlog.

Wish they'd go back to revealing the card in advance instead of the day of it.

It's time for the DARK Card Rundown! Since we actually got some time to do it now!

Matt Hardy vs. Vary Morales: Vary's one of my DARK Dudes, and the fact he's getting a big match with Matt I hope means something. This should be a good match and a good clash of styles. Matt's making a title push so he's gonna win but I hope Vary gets some shit in.

Sonny Kiss & Joey Janela vs. KC Navarro & Aaron Frye: Jersey Boys look to continue to win, still interested in if Joey snapping at Kiss is gonna continue to lead to something, but theyre building themselves up until then

JD Drake (w/ Ryan Nemeth) vs. Baron Black: JD's got a big match on TV tomorrow, so giving him a win makes sense. And this match should be the unsung sleeper of the night. Baron's a hard hitter, Drake is Drake, this should rule.

Sea Stars vs. Vertvixen & Jazmin Allure: Nice to see Sea Stars getting a win in their tag team debut. I think AEW sees something special in Vox and Exo and it'd be hard not to. This should be a fun match

Matt Sydal vs. Mike Magnum: Matt's looking to rebound after a few lousy weeks, and probably should tonight. Magnum looked impressive in his loss to Nakazawa though, so it might be a bit back and forth

Jurassic Express (w/ Marko Stunt) vs. Rex Lawless & Dean Alexander: Lawless vs Luchasaurus could be a lot of fun, but Express have a huge match on Wednesday, I expect quick work.

TH2 vs. Bear Country: Case in point to Express having a huge Wednesday Match, Bear Country do as well. I love TH2, but they're about to be mowed down tonight. I expect Jack Evans to be selling his ass off

Fuego del Sol (w/ Griff Garrison & Marko Stunt) vs. Ryan Nemeth (w/ JD Drake): I find it very interesting they're making the Vlog Crew a bit canon here with Fuego, Garrison, and Stunt. I like it though, I like wrestlers being yknow, friends outside of their own groups as well. Nemeth I assume wins here, though it'd be a really good first win for Fuego to get.

Team Taz vs. Brick Aldridge, Justin Law, & Hayden Backlund: Bob Backlund's Nephew makes his AEW Match Debut wth more Nightmare Family peeps. They probably wont last long, though I expect more Cage/Starks shenanigans here.

Dark Order (Evil Uno, Stu Grayson, & Alex Reynolds) vs. Jake St. Patrick, Sage Scott, & Chandler Hopkins: Dark Order Muli-Mans on DARK vs Jobbers, it's a beautiful thing. This should be an interesting match considering I dont think we've ever seen this particular Dark Order combo before.

Red Velvet & KiLynn King vs. Madi Wrenkowski & Vipress: Madi and Vipress kinda feels like a right kinda combo. I assume this is a competitive match, but I also assume Velvet and King win and continue their good team chemistry together

The Butcher vs. Jon Cruz: Jon Cruz is about to die. That's about all you can say here. Rare singles match for Butcher and I'm sure he'll look good.

Should be a fun DARK, very excited for some of the matchups tonight!

Nothing to followup last week with Diamante and Thunder Rosa either.

Rosa might not have been there due to NWA commitments

They taped this set of shows after the ppv, so that was weeks ago.

Not sure then, unless the last Dynamite match announced for this week will be Rosa/Diamante

Could also be a promo on DARK, never really know.

The Acclaimed will debut their latest music video tonight targeted at the Hangman.

Bear Country/TH2 is the main event

Makes sense, they're signed talent vs "I'm pretty sure they're gonna be ALL ELITE soon" talent

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

We're on the countdown to showtime

[chrom]

We start

DARK begins with Dark Order

Appropriate

[chrom]

No Ogogo here so far, wonder if he's been booted off due to attacking last week

[chrom]

We start with a Trios matchup

Looks like DARK was taped after dark.
