Ruby Soho faces Jamie Hayter on her AEW Dynamite debut
Things didn't start too well for Ruby Soho on her AEW Dynamite debut as Jamie Hayter sent her out of the ring. Hayter then forced Ruby into the barricade while Britt Baker mocked her at ringside.
Back after the break, Ruby Soho was in control and countered Hayter with an incredibly innovative DDT. Ruby Soho hit the "Riott Kick" (if that's what it still is) out of nowhere to pick up the win on her AEW Dynamite debut.
Result: Ruby Soho def. Jamie Hayter
Grade: C
Britt Baker, Jamie Hayter, and Rebel began the post-match beatdown, and Riho came out for an unsuccessful save. It was Kris Statlander who made the difference and they sent the three other women packing. It seems like a six-woman tag team match could be booked for Ruby Soho's next AEW bout.
FTR & Shawn Spears (with Tully Blanchard) vs The Dark Order (Stu Grayson, Evil Uno, and John Silver) on AEW Dynamite
The Dark Order hasn't been on the same page in AEW lately. Anna Jay had to give them a pep talk backstage to sort things out. John Silver started the match and Evil Uno got into it before Shawn Spears could tag FTR back in.
Stu Grayson was involved as well, but the issues were seen with The Dark Order's chemistry despite them working well together.
Dax Harwood beat down John Silver, who fought back to try and get the tag on either Grayson or Uno. Spears and Cash Wheeler isolated Silver by attacking Uno and Grayson.
Silver still fought back and got a beautiful suplex on Harwood, who managed to get back on track and tag Wheeler in. Spears came in immediately and hit the Death Valley Driver for a convincing win.
Result: Shawn Spears & FTR def. Dark Order
Grade: C
Tully Blanchard's crew and their "isolation" strategy worked due to Dark Order's miscommunication. The problems continued for Dark Order as the members started to implode. Tay Conti (not officially a member) and Anna Jay came out to try and restore the order, but the damage seemed to be done.
Backstage, Tully Blanchard asked Tony Khan to book a match between Shawn Spears and Darby Allin for next week. He even teased facing Sting again himself at the age of 67.
