Winners: SoCal Uncensored, by pinfall (remain a tag team)

The Fallen Angel and Full Metal Rebel say it is only a matter of time before they are tag team champions in AEW! Will they reach the gold or fail trying as Revolution approaches?

My Thoughts:

Another good Dark, but they went back up to 16, and it was over two hours, I just don’t know why they feel the need to do so much. Or maybe I don’t know why I’m doing so much. I’m not saying I’m giving up on AEW Dark coverage, but I probably wouldn’t be as dedicated if I wasn’t making these articles. I will say we got some good story progress for Peter Avalon, he seems to be creating a stable now with how he and Bononi worked with Nemeth. The Nightmare Family seems to be growing even more than The Dark Order, which is a little weird. But Avalon, Bononi & Nemeth in a 3v3 against Johnson, Comoroto & QT could be really fun.

Jurassic Express winning in their match but Stunt losing in his keeps the math even on the trio, though there is still time to build before the 3v3 with FTR & Tully. Speaking of the Dark Order, Reynolds & Silver are building up strong, and I like that Peaks & Valle is a combination that AEW was able to bring back together. As strong as the AEW Tag Division is, to where it might almost be too big, I hope Peaks & Valle stick around. The Triple Threat Tag main event was apparently a late add-on, but it was a very good match. SCU keeps winning to stick together, but while the titles are with the Bucks as well as involved in bigger stories, it might be some time before SCU are contenders.

I’m not sure which would be more powerful story telling: them falling short of challenging, or losing in their tag title match. There is of course the third option of them winning the belts and riding high, only to crash and burn with a short reign. SCU’s story, if brought to Dynamite more often, could probably be among AEW’s stronger stories, such as with the large Heel Omega story or the Inner Circle dysfunction. AEW has to try and integrate SCU’s story more into Dynamite or there is a good chance a chunk of fans won’t understand the drama.

My Score: 8/10
