Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features eight matches and is once again filmed at the Dark studios in Orlando, Florida rather than coming from on the road… Anyway, on with the review.

Match #1: Blake Christian def. Serpentico

My Thoughts: Ahhhh, we’re back to Serpentico actually giving a great performance and Blake Christian was a great foil for him too. Which meant this was a fantastic opener to this week’s show!

My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Rush def. Aiden Park

My Thoughts: Surprise, surprise, we get a squash match from Rush. but damn if Rush doesn’t do great squashes… I love how he’s both sneaky and dominant as he overpowers his opponents, and that was certainly the case here.

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #3: Kiera Hogan def. Megan Meyers

My Thoughts: Another squash match, though this time featuring some...

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features eight matches and takes us back to the typical Dark studio setting rather than coming from on the road… Anyway, on with the review.

Match #1: Britt Baker def. Billie Starkz

My Thoughts: This was a fantastic opening match, with Billie Starkz giving Britt Baker a decent run, almost getting the win with a super-close pinfall attempt. Starkz even made Baker bleed! Apparently this was filmed a while ago, which takes some of the momentum out of the finished product but still, I really enjoyed this one.

My Score: 3 out of 5 Match #2: Dark Order def. Baliyan Akki, Marcus Kross & Vary Morales

My Thoughts: Dark Order versus enhancement talent… Oh, I wonder who;s going to win this one? And what do you know, it’s also a squash! Yes, this one weas another by-the-book Aew YouTube match for the Dark Order.

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which, after last week’s short five-match card, is a whopping 11-match show..! Let’s just say I prefer the shorter shows. Let’s get right into the review!

Match #1: John Silver & Alex Reynolds def. Zuka & Alexander Moss

My Thoughts: I’m in a constant state of worry about the current 4-man roster of the Dark Order. It seems like the further away from the death of Brodie Lee, the more Tony Khan seems to be abandoning this team. I do sometimes wonder if not for their connection to Hangman Page, would they all still be in Aew? Which is a shame because the Dark Order, and in particular John Silver & Alex Reynolds, always deliver great matches – even on Dark and Elevation!

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Emi Sakura def. Avery Breaux

My Thoughts: It would seem that Emi Sakura is...

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which is a Short five-match card… and let’s just say I’m loving the shorter shows. So let’s get right to it!

Match #1: Penelope Ford def. Alice Crowley

My Thoughts: Nice to see Penelope Ford in action once again and, as commentary pointed out, she looked rather more aggressive in this one than usual. This was pretty much a squash match for Ford, hopefully to build her numbers and get her back into the main event picture.

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Darius Martin & Matt Sydal def. Cezar Bononi & Ryan Nemeth

My Thoughts: Another good outing for the team of Darius Martin & Matt Sydal, though I appreciated that this one went a Lot longer than their Elevation match this week! Cezar Bononi & Ryan Nemeth are the wrong kind of opponents for Martin and Sydal though…

My Score: 3 out of...

Welcome to this review of a special pre-All Out Aew Dark: Elevation. We’ve got Tony Schiavone and Matt Menard on commentary for this bonus episode so let’s see what the show has to offer!

Match #1: Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo def. Gpa and Laynie Luck

My Thoughts: The only thing I took away from this match was that a) I’m tired of the Sammy and Tay schtick and b) How the f*ck does that pair get three matches in two weeks whilst Eddie Kingston is stuck with one match on the All Out pre-show? Screams a desperate attempt to squash the “Sammy is har to work with” rumours Tbh.

My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Swerve in our Glory (Swerve Strickland and Keith Lee) def. Jah-c and Storm Grayson

My Thoughts: Swerve in our Glory get a quick tune-up match prior to their All Out...

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which emanates from Aew Universal once again. We’ve got Taz and Excalibur on commentary as usual so let’s get to the action!

Match #1: Ari Daivari def. Fuego Del Sol

My Thoughts: Loved this match. Fuego looked like a badass for once, taking it to Ari – who really took a beating in this match, the antithesis of how we’ve seen him recently in Aew. Eventually Ari cheated to get the win as all heels do. Surprisingly great match to open Dark.

My Score: 3.5 out of 5 Match #2: Willow Nightingale def. Robyn Renegade

My Thoughts: What’s not to love about a match featuring Willow Nightingale? Imho, she needs to be signed with a major promotion Asap, she’s got the personality, the charisma and the skills and every crowd she wrestles in front of Loves her! Plus the Renegade twins...
