Death Triangle (w/ Alex Abrahantes) vs. Chaos Project & Cole Karter on AEW Dark

Cole Karter and Chaos Project might be the oddest trio to come out of the AEW think tank. Death Triangle got fancy pyro and a massive pop before the match.

Chaos Project stayed true to their name by attacking the babyfaces during their entrance. Cole Karter didn't want to be used as a weapon, but teaming up with Luther comes with its risks.

Karter was sent crashing into the corner as Chaos Project enjoyed the early momentum. Rey Fenix weathered the storm and got the match in his team's favor with a pump kick.

Penta came in, and the Lucha Bros executed a great Canadian Destroyer-influenced splash. That was phenomenal!

PAC was aching to enter the match, and he finally got the tag. However, Andrade El Idolo's music hit, and out came the former WWE star, flanked by Chavo Guerrero Jr.

Karter attempted to sneak in a quick roll-up, but PAC was aware of the danger and dropped his opponent with a big kick. "The Bastard" sent a message to Andrade and taunted him to approach the ring.

El Idolo and his team retreated as the match continued. Chaos Project bailed on Cole Karter as Luther felt his partner was ugly. The veteran picked up Serpentico and proceeded to leave as Death Triangle isolated Karter.

PAC started with a thrust kick, followed by a tornado cutter from Fenix. Rey took it to the next level by laying out Chaos Project outside with Tope Suicida.

Penta zoned in on Karter as he did the 'Ciero Miedo' gesture before executing the Fear Factor finisher.

Result: Death Triangle def. Chaos Project & Cole Karter on AEW Dark

Grade: B


Nyla Rose (w/ Vickie Guerrero) vs. Tina San Antonio (AEW Debut) on AEW Dark

Nyla Rose absolutely broke the AEW debutant in half with a spear to start the match! The former AEW Women's Champion made quick work of her opponent with the Beast Bomb.

Result: Nyla Rose def. Tina San Antonio on AEW Dark

Grade: D


Vickie Guerrero picked up the microphone and got nuclear heat from the crowd. The boos were deafening as Vickie almost popped a vein screaming, "excuse me."

The reaction she got on AEW Dark is another reminder of why Vickie Guerrero is one of the greatest heels ever.


Dark Order's 10, Alex Reynolds & John Silver vs. RSP, Andrew Palace & Bill Collier (AEW Trios Debut) on AEW Dark

Alex Reynolds and Andrew Palace got the match rolling for their respective teams. Alex executed a nice crossbody, followed by a dropkick from the top and a kip-up for the fans.

RSP dragged Reynolds out to the apron, which helped Bill Collier hit the Dark Order member with a spear. Palace distracted the referee in the meantime as the heels took control of the match.

RSP entered and tossed Reynolds across the ring with a wild suplex. Palace came back in and delivered a nasty-looking backdrop.

Bill Collier got the tag and showcased his freakish power with a military press. Reynolds finally created some separation by evading a series of incoming attacks. He then tagged John Silver, and the "Meatman" sent Palace flying with a back body drop.

Johnny Hungy landed the boot on the back of Andrew's head, followed by a release snap german suplex. The most astonishing moment of the night happened next as John Silver german suplexed the titanic Bill Collier. A legitimate holy s*** moment!

Silver wasn't done as he rocked RSP with a brainbuster. Preston "10" Vance got the tag and executed a ripcord diamond cutter on Palace followed by a pump kick.

He lifted Reynolds and dumped his partner on top of Collier and RSP on the outside. Dark Order's intense offense got the fans on their feet!

10 delivered a spinebuster on Palace as the crowd chanted for Dark Order's strongest member. Reynolds and Silver hit a five-move combo before a wobbly Palace fell into Vance's vacant arms for the Full Nelson hold. Dark Order picked up another submission win on AEW Dark!

Result: Dark Order's 10, Alex Reynolds & John Silver def. RSP, Andrew Palace & Bill Collier on AEW Dark
