AEW Dark Results

  • Evil Uno & Stu Grayson defeated Fuego del Sol & Rembrandt Lewis
  • Ricky Starks defeated Christopher Daniels
  • The Butcher& The Blade defeated Calvin Stewart & Puf

  • AEW Late Night Dynamite Results
  • Scorpio Sky defeated Ben Carter
  • Anna Jay defeated Brandi Rhodes
  • Shawn Spears defeated Matt Sydal

(Josh’s Take: The headline that you’ve probably already seen everywhere is SIGN BEN CARTER. A really great showing from a guy that’s been totally off my radar. I’m not sure what the plan is feeding Matt Sydal to Shawn Spears. Matt’s new and exciting and I can’t remember the last time I saw spears on dynamite, or winning for that matter.)

Latest Rankings Released

Miro Makes His In-Ring Debut

Miro (f/k/a Rusev) will make his in-ring debut tonight against an unknown opponent. Miro first appeared on Dynamite two weeks ago when he was announced as the Best Man for Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford’s upcoming wedding.

(Josh’s Take: Miro has all of the tools do be a big star. I’m not convinced that pairing him with Sabian is a wise choice, but I’m happy to be proven wrong. I’m hoping for a strong in-ring showing here with minimal references to his time in WWE)

Mr. Brodie Lee Defends TNT Championship Against Orange Cassidy

Orange Cassidy will challenge for the TNT Championship following a four win-streak that includes back-to-back wins over Chris Jericho. Mr. Brodie Lee defeated Cody Rhodes on August 13th to become champion, and successfully defended against Dustin Rhodes on the September 9th edition of Dynamite. This will be his second defense.

(Josh’s Take: This feels ill-timed to me. Orange Cassidy is on an undeniable upward trajectory and Mr. Brodie Lee is still building into the big bad mid-card villain that I believe he can be. I think a loss for either of them will have an unfortunate cooling effect. I don’t see them changing the title here.)
