My Thoughts:

Another big, long episode of Dark, but still with great stuff. I did not expect Jurassic Express to be the opener but they did great against Cruz and the Capital Vices. SCU winning was a bit of a given, but the story of Cutler and Avalon is going great. This Wednesday better give us the moment that brings about a Fyter Fest match to “officially crown” the WORST AEW Wrestler. Swole got a good win and a great little post match jab at Britt Baker. Archer obviously wins but I’m really intrigued by how he almost interfered in the tag match right after. Janela & Kiss are doing great as a team, but I wonder if Archer takes them both on just to prove how dangerous he is. And will Archer come back for the TNT Championship at All Out? I sure hope so.

Brandi & Allie technically made a good team, but Allie continuing to exaggerate things and be conniving, it really is hard to tell where her motivations lie. Still hoping she is going full deceiver and will ditch QT for The Butcher & The Blade right as Natural Nightmares is at the peak. I almost thought the new glove was going to cost Spears because he wasn’t used to it, but maybe that comes later. This is a good improvised alternative to how the #SearchForSpears had to be cancelled because of COVID, though. Good to see Uno and Grayson back, and of course they win. Superbad Squad sweeps between Havoc and Penelope both having good matches. Oscar’s definitely adorable, and for some reason I foresee Superbad Squad one day taking on the Nightmare Family of Brandi, Cody and Dustin on in a program. The irony might be that Oscar and Pharaoh become buddies as the goodest boys in AEW.

Scorpio and Anthony had a really good match, but Scorpio wins as what I hope is an opportunity to get back to that singles build we were getting before the pandemic. If Scorpio isn’t one of the wrestlers to answer Cody’s Open Challenge for the TNT Championship before Fyter Fest, I’ll be moderately disappointed. Scorpio and Cody can definitely have an incredible match for that title.

My Score: 8.1/10
