AEW Dark Main Event (No DQ, No Count Outs, No Rules): Joey Janela (w/ Kayla Rossi) vs. Sonny Kiss

Janela and Kiss finally locked horns in their long-awaited grudge match, and it lived up to all the hype.

Kiss walked into the ring with a trash can as the referee called for the bell. Sonny took Kayla Rossi out with the trash can before brawling with Joey Janela.

Janela turned the tables and chopped Sonny Kiss in the corner. Sonny responded with a savage lariat that knocked Janela out of the ring. Kiss executed a massive pullover hurricanrana on the outside and followed it with an ax kick.

Janela was sent crashing into the barricade as Kiss had the fans' support. Janela reversed a suplex off the steps by hanging on to the ring post. Sonny came charging in with an uppercut followed by a handstand takedown. Incredible!

Kiss placed the trash can cover over Janela's back but missed the moonsault press as Joey moved out of the way. A recuperated Kalya Rossi got back in the frame and helped Janela execute a double powerbomb over Sonny Kiss on the steel steps.

Janela cracked Kiss' ribcage with a stick before going for the trash can once again. The Bad Boy placed a few chairs in the ring and rolled Kiss in for a massive spot.

Joey looked for a package piledriver on the heap of chairs from the top, but Kiss blocked the move and shoved Janela down. Joey crashed back-first onto the chairs. It got even worse for Janela as Kiss landed a rolling DDT over multiple chairs. Ouch! A holy sh** chant rightfully broke out after the spot.

The DDT busted Janela open as Sonny Kiss savored every second of the dominance. Janela finally got some control with a nasty brainbuster on the floor. He ordered Kayla Rossi to get a ladder while he grabbed a table from underneath the ring.

Rossi and Janela positioned the weapons in the ring, and he promised to elbow drop Kiss right through the table.

Sonny broke free with a roundhouse kick, but Kayla Rossi got involved with a trash can. Kiss continued the heroic performance by taking Rossi out of the equation once again.

Sonny sandwiched Rossi over Janela on the table before climbing the ladder. Sonny Kiss drove them through the table with a flying splash, which got a deserved 'this is awesome' chant from the crowd.

Sonny Kiss introduced another table in the match, this time near the ringside area. The match's finish was near as Kiss and Janela battled in front of the stage. Janela reversed a powerbomb attempt and kicked Sonny in the jaw.

Janela took it to the next level by executing a piledriver on Sonny Kiss through the table from the stage! Holy sh**!

Janela rolled Kiss into the ring and got the three-count on AEW Dark. What a match!
