#5. Ashton Starr & David Ali vs. Lucha Bros on AEW Dark
Penta signaled David Ali to bring it, and both men engaged in a battle of the mind games. Ali got in a few knee strikes to the gut, but Fenix assisted Penta with a kick to Ali's back.
Fenix lit up Ali's chest with a loud chop. Taz and Starks loved it! Lucha Bros were all over Ali with an insane combination of kicks and stomps. Ali still managed to kick out at two.
Fenix threw Ali to his corner, and Starr got the tag. Penta went to the top turnbuckle and came down for a double stomp to Starr's rear end. Ali got caught in a single-leg submission, but he still made the tag to Starr.
Lucha Bros had both Ali and Starr in an intricate submission move. Ali, however, created some separation and made the tag to Starr.
Starr executed the tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on Fenix. He didn't let go as he dumped Fenix on the outside through the middle rope. Starr took Fenix out with a spinning Tope Suicida.
Lucha Bros took control of the proceedings as they isolated Starr and spiked his head into the mat for the three-count on AEW Dark.

#6. Dani Jordyn vs. Leva Bates on AEW Dark
This was Leva bates' first match since the AEW Tag Team Cup Tournament in July.
This was a match between two bibliophiles. Interesting dynamic! Bates was already in Jordyn's burn book. Dani taunted Bates about Peter Avalon's absence, and Bates snapped.
Leva got in a pair of shots to Jordyn's midsection before transitioning into the crossface. Dani attempted to roll over for the pin. Leva got up and took Jordyn down again with a side headlock takedown.
Dani got back up to a vertical position, but she went back down with a bridged Northern Lights Suplex. Jordyn got hold of Leva's books, and she twisted them to annoy Bates.
Bates now had the burn book, and Jordyn pleaded to keep it aside. Jordyn used it as a distraction to get a cheap shot on Bates. Jordyn delivered a snap suplex, followed by an elbow and a shotgun dropkick. Bates fought back with a forearm strike. Jordyn responded by slamming Bates face-first into the slam. Back in the corner, Jordyn connected with a forearm shot. Bates kicked her way out before trapping Jordyn into the Cazadora roll-up pin.
Bates was ecstatic after the win as she even celebrated with the referee. This was indeed an upset on AEW Dark. The win was Leva Bates' first singles victory in AEW.
