AEW Dark Main Event: Serpentico (w/ Luther) vs. Dark Order's Stu Grayson
Serpentico would fit right into Dark Order, and he even pulled up the Dark Order hand gesture, much to Luther's frustration.
The final match of the evening finally got underway, and Serpentico retreated to the outside after Grayson rushed towards him. A 'Snakeman sucks' chant kicked off as Serpentico bought some time and assessed his opponent.
Serpentico's game plan worked as he took control in the ring with a kick and a spike DDT. He exploited the opening and kicked Grayson in the corner.
The masked wrestler ate a few chops but kicked his way back into the match. Luther pulled Grayson's beard, and he screamed, 'that's how you win' in his hilariously squeaky voice.
Serpentico landed a Mongolian chop on Grayson, who shouted 'again' and called for the chops. Luther also joined in and urged Serpentico to fire off the chops.
Grayson took the chops and walked forward but ate a thrust kick followed by a facebuster. Serpentico missed the frog splash and got rocked with a brutal knee strike.
Serpentico gouged Grayson's eyes and escaped the torture rack position. The Chaos Project nearly got the win with a roll-up using the classic trunk-pull heel tactic.
Grayson dug deep and executed a clutch power slam using Serpentico's forward momentum. Serpentico used the ropes to attack Grayson's throat, and Luther called for the finish.
Grayson blocked a suplex on the apron and swept Serpentico's legs. The Dark Order came over the ropes with a senton onto Serpentico, positioned in the apron.
Stu intimidated Luther before getting back into the ring, only to get caught in a roll-up. Grayson kicked out and hit two crossface shots before spiking Serpentico with the Uranage and a follow-up knee strike. Next, he executed a standing splash before coming over the top with an airplane spin to take out Luther.
That sequence popped the crowd, and Grayson rolled back into the ring to finish Serpentico.
Serpentico hit the ropes with a handspring, but Stu caught him in mid-air and delivered the Nightfall for the victory.
Result: Stu Grayson def. Serpentico on AEW Dark
