Dante Martin (w/ Lio Rush) vs. JDX on AEW Dark

Dante Martin and JDX started the AEW Dark match with an intricate exchange of arm holds. Martin stepped off the bottom rope to create space and hit the ropes to deliver an awesome dropkick.

JDX put the brakes on Dante with an enziguri and a back heel trip. Martin kicked out at one and got a thumbs up from Lio Rush. Dante used the bottom rope once again to execute a backflip and evade JDX's running attack.

Martin followed JDX on the outside and floored him with a slingshot plancha. Dante rolled his opponent back in the ring but missed a double-jump moonsault and got laid out with a flatliner. JDX got a two-count for his efforts, but he couldn't capitalize on the momentum.

Martin stunned JDX with the double-jump moonsault off the ropes to pick up yet another AEW win.

Result: Dante Martin def. JDX on AEW Dark

Grade: B
