Diamante, Nyla Rose & Emi Sakura (w/ Vickie Guerrero & Lulu Pencil) vs. Kris Statlander, Thunder Rosa & Red Velvet on AEW Dark

Some of the top female talent in AEW assembled next for a massive six-women tag team match. The babyfaces got a solid pop as they approached the ring to Thunder Rosa's music on AEW Dark.

Diamante took Red Velvet off her feet with a swift ankle pick to begin the match. Both women reset, and Red Velvet landed a leg lariat. She punched away in the corner before tagging Kris Statlander.

Statlander executed three good arm drags before Diamante bailed out and tagged Nyla Rose. Kris caught Rose with a kick to the knees before hitting the ropes for a sliding dropkick.

Nyla kicked out at one and tipped the scales in her team's favor with a back body suplex. She shoved Statlander into the heels' corner and worked in tandem with Diamante. Rose helped Diamante leap off the ropes for a splash onto Statlander.

Diamante continued to land her shots until Statlander reversed a running crossbody into a powerslam. Thunder Rosa got the hot tag, and she came in with two heavy single-leg dropkicks. Diamante, however, escaped a waistlock attempt and scampered to tag in Emi Sakura.

An irate Nyla Rose made the blind tag and rushed towards Thunder Rosa, who responded with a back elbow. Rosa kept up the pressure with a running clothesline in the corner, followed by a basement dropkick. Nyla used her strength to push Rosa towards Emi Sakura, who finally tagged herself into the contest.

The Joshi legend started with a few hard chops. Rosa then blocked Sakura's Queen's Gambit finisher and fired off a series of her own chops. The former NWA Women's Champion ended the sequence with a well-placed round kick.

Red Velvet re-entered the match and continued the chop-based offense. Sakura, however, managed to hit her finisher - a double underhook gutwrench facebuster, but Statlander was on hand to make the save for her team.

Diamante came back in and hit a Code Red on Statlander. The referee refused to start the pinfall as Diamante wasn't the legal competitor. Meanwhile, Rosa came flying through with a kick to Diamante's shoulder blades.

All hell broke loose as Nyla Rose flattened Thunder Rosa with a gigantic chokeslam. Red Velvet kept the sequence going with a corkscrew kick on Rose, who got dumped outside the ring.

Emi Sakura grabbed Red Velvet's hair from the back, but the babyface created some space and delivered her 'Final Slice' finisher to win on AEW Dark.

Result: Kris Statlander, Thunder Rosa & Red Velvet def. Diamante, Nyla Rose & Emi Sakura on AEW Dark

Grade: A


The ladies put on a solid match on AEW Dark, which had Red Velvet pick up a big pin over the legendary Emi Sakura.


Will Jade Cargill become the inaugural TBS Champion?

Jade Cargill looked majestic, and she got a few cheers as well during her entrance.

Sterling introduced Cargill as the future TBS Champion as he was confident about his client's prospects. Based on the reactions, fans in Miami would also love to see Cargill with the new TBS belt.

Sterling addressed the upcoming bracket reveal and argued that Cargill deserved to be awarded the title without competing in the tournament. Smart Mark reminded fans of Jade Cargill's 17-0 record before clarifying that the undefeated star would still be willing to face all kinds of challenges.

Cargill interjected and fired a shot at Thunder Rosa by promising to walk her like a dog. Sterling wrapped up his promo by predictably assuring a victory for Jade in the TBS title tournament. Cargill even had her own full form for TBS, 'That B***H Show!'


Lance Archer (w/ Jake 'The Snake' Roberts) vs. O.T. Fernandez on AEW Dark

As expected, Archer dragged his helpless AEW opponent out and mercilessly tossed him into the ring while his entrance theme played.

Eddie Kingston, who will face Archer on this weekend's Dynamite, joined the commentary booth to share his thoughts ahead of the AEW World Title Eliminator match.

Archer manhandled his opponent and first took O.T. Fernandez on the Hellacoaster. He chopped Fernandez, much to the pleasure of the AEW fans, who sadistically chanted 'one more time.'

Eddie Kingston and Taz got into a shouting match on commentary as Archer continued to dismantle his opponent. Archer elbowed Fernandez in mid-air, carried him around for a few seconds, and delivered the Blackout (inverted crucifix powerbomb) for the win on AEW Dark.

Result: Lance Archer def. O.T. Fernandez on AEW Dark
