Fuego tried to pull off an upset as he got Garcia down with a hanging neckbreaker. The Luchador got a one-count with a low enziguri followed by a massive kick. Daniel evaded a springboard move and knocked out Del Sol with a shotgun dropkick.

Garcia didn't let go of the submission hold, which led to Sammy Guevara running out to make the save. Daniel Garcia will face Sammy for the interim TNT title on the next Dynamite episode.


TBS Championship Eliminator Match: TBS Champion Jade Cargill vs. Skye Blue

Jade Cargill made a pyro-assisted entrance and looked absolutely majestic as the first-ever TBS Champion.

Skye Blue started strong with a waistlock, but Cargill was too powerful during the early stages. Jade fired back with a pump kick, and she drew heat from the crowd.

Cargill caught Skye Blue in mid-air to deliver a fallaway slam, followed by a kip-up. She got a round of applause for the spot and continued to dismantle Skye Blue with her offense.

Blue, however, escaped Cargill's shoulders and attempted a move off the ropes. Jade transitioned to the Cazadora and landed her 'Jaded' finisher out of nowhere.

Result: Jade Cargill def. Skye Blue

Grade: B


Jade Cargill is young in the business, but if her latest match is anything to go by, she is improving rapidly as a performer, and that's great news for Tony Khan and co.


AEW World Tag Team Championship Eliminator Match: The Factory's QT Marshall & Nick Comoroto vs. Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus

The tag team champions got a rousing reception before the co-main event of the evening.

A loud 'Luchasaurus' chant echoed before the match as Jungle Boy and QT Marshall started with a fast-paced exchange. QT ate a few overhand chops and got taken down with an arm drag.

Comoroto came in, and Jungle Boy welcomed him with a dropkick. Marshall attacked Jungle Boy from the back, and the heels began to call the shots in the match.

Nick Comotoro got the tag, and he landed a brutal elbow drop. Marshall and Comoroto made quick tags and kept Jungle Boy in their corner.

The 24-year-old's goal was to create some separation, but QT Marshall was aware of the danger. Jungle Boy still countered with a hurricanrana and made the hot tag to AEW's resident dinosaur.

Luchasaurus delivered combination strikes on QT before backing Comoroto into a corner. He then kicked off a back elbow party and knocked down his opponents with a shoulder tackle.

Nick and QT broke the double chokeslam grip and escaped a disaster. Marshall continued to fight back with a step-up enziguri but missed the Diamond Cutter. All hell broke loose as the four competitors were down on the mat. The referee began the ten-count as Luchasaurus and Marshall — the two legal men — got up and made separate tags to their partners.

Jungle Boy almost got pinned following a savage spear from Comoroto. An unranked team nearly pulled off an upset win over the champs!

Luchasaurus sent QT to the outside, and he received a tag from a flying Jungle Boy. Luchasaurus first hit a Tiaras-leg DDT to set up Jungle Boy's version of a DDT using the ropes.

Comoroto kicked out at two but was incredibly dazed during the follow-up brawl with Luchasaurus.

Luchasaurus hit a fireman's carry slam on Comoroto. Jungle Boy leaped off his partner's back and took out QT Marshall with a Canadian Destroyer, and the sequence helped the Jurassic Express get the three-count.

Result: Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus def. QT Marshall & Nick Comoroto

AEW Dark Main Event: Hangman Page, Alan "5" Angels & 10 vs. Matt Hardy, Isiah Kassidy & Serpentico

AEW World Champion Hangman Page headlined the card in a star-studded Trios match.

The stipulation was that if Matt Hardy's team won tonight, the veteran star would get a shot at the world title on the next Dynamite episode.

Hangman Page arguably got the loudest pop of the night and deservedly so as it was his first Dark appearance.

Isiah Kassidy and Alan Angels kicked off the main event with a well-executed sequence. The Dark Order enjoyed the early momentum as Preston Vance continued his team's good work.

Kassidy was shaken up as he caught his breath after tagging out to Serpentico. 10 sent Serpentico flying across the ring with a belly-to-belly suplex.

The Dark Order powerhouse kept Serpentico in the delayed vertical suplex hanging in the air. Hangman entered the match for the first time and amazingly continued the delayed vertical suplex by taking over from his partner.

The AEW Champion landed knife-edged chops and charged into the corner for a big clothesline. Matt Hardy grabbed Hangman's boot from the ringside area and smartly helped his team take control of the match.

Angels reentered and got a one-count from a snap suplex. Serpentico distracted him, and Hardy got involved with a toe kick. The heels slowed the pace down as Big Money Matt dropped an elbow across Angels' back.

Kassidy and Hardy executed the Poetry in Motion as Angels took a lot of punishment. Luther wasn't around, but Serpentico was still used as a weapon by his partners.

Alan Angels finally began his comeback with two kicks in the corner. He landed lefts and rights and wiped out Kassidy and Serpentico with a double crossbody. After getting into the ring, Preston Vance got the tag and ran through his opponents like a truck.

Vance delivered a perfect spinebuster on Kassidy and proceeded to lock in the Full Nelson submission. Hardy helped Isiah by breaking the hold, and Serpentico joined in to get the numbers advantage.

10 stopped another Poetry in Motion and side slammed Matt Hardy. Hangman Page got the hot tag, and he sent Serpentico flying with a blackbody drop.

Page hit a series of moves on the heels and isolated Serpentico for the Buckshot Lariat. Kassidy saved his partner but couldn't evade Angels' moonsault from the top.

Serpentico was returned to the ring as Hangman got a near fall with the Death Valley Driver. Once again, it was Matt Hardy who made the much-needed save. Page reversed the Twist of Fate and gave Hardy a taste of his own medicine.

Angels delivered a massive Frog Splash from the top, but Matt Hardy miraculously kicked out. Kassidy stopped Angels from going up top with a commonguri as Hardy recuperated in the meantime.

Matt executed the Splash Mountain move, but Preston Vance was around to break up the pinfall. Back-and-forth action resumed with Kassidy and Vance brawling it out in the ring.

Hangman, too, joined in and took Kassidy out of the equation with a rolling elbow strike. Ouch! Page avoided the Twist of Fate again as Serpentico made the blind tag.

Hardy joined Kassidy on the outside as Serpentico was the only member of his heel team in the ring. The Dark Order members easily evaded the splash and started the finishing sequence of the match.

Alan Angels hit the Wingsnapper before Vance softened up Serpentico with the Full Nelson. Hangman completed the match with the pop-up powerbomb, followed by the Buckshot Lariat.

Result: Hangman Page, Alan "5" Angels & 10 def. Matt Hardy, Isiah Kassidy & Serpentico
