Joey Janela vs. Jack Evans.

Jack Evans hit Janela with a springboard rider kick as Joey was making his entrance. The match hadn't even begun, and Evans was all over Janela at ringside. Explosive start!

Evans rolled Janela into the ring, and the match officially got underway. Evans began to climb to the top rope, but Janela tipped him over to the outside.

Janela dove onto Evans. The Bad Boy was fired up! The action was back in the ring. Angelico grabbed Janela's feet, which helped Evans execute the corkscrew enziguri cleanly.

Evans dominated the match with a few knees to the face, followed by a sledgehammer shot to Janela's spine.

Things weren't looking great for Janela as Evans connected with a big back elbow. Janela was still in the match as he kicked out and began to work his way out of a chokehold.

Evans had Janela in a submission in the middle of the rope, but Joey got Evans in the fireman's carry before delivering the Death Valley Driver.

Janela felt it as he hit the tope suicida on Evans. The bad boy had regained his bearings as he delivered a Death Valley driver in the middle of the ring. Evans somehow kicked out, and a glassy-eyed Janela was looking for the final blow.

Both men were up on the top rope, and Evans dropped Janela with a hurricanerana. Evans followed it with a middle-rope Phoenix splash knee drop. That looked incredible, but Janela still kicked out!

The match continued as both men exchanged round kicks and punches in the middle. Evans stopped Janela with a handspring back elbow, but Joey responded with a high-impact spear.

The back-and-forth action was intense as Janela connected with a thrust kick. Evans responded with a poisanrana. However, Janela had some life in him as he rocked Evans with a superkick before going down. What a sequence!

Both men were on the mat as the referee began the ten-count. Janela drew first blood after they both got up on their feet. Evans laid out Janela near the corner and went for a 450 splash, but Janela got his knees up.

Janela almost got the win with a sneaky pinfall. Joey hit Evans with a Lariat followed by the Package Piledriver. Pinfall...1...2...kick out! Unbelievable!

Jack Evans kicked out, and everyone was rightfully shocked. But Janela prevented an upset loss as he went up and delivered the diving elbow drop for the win on AEW Dark.

Result: Joey Janela def. Jack Evans on AEW Dark
