Britt Baker's segment on AEW Dark
Britt Baker was out next for an in-ring interview segment on AEW Dark with Tony Schiavone, and she expectedly made her entrance to a massive ovation. The AEW Women's Champion was flanked by Rebel and her muscle, Jamie Hayter.
Hayter is scheduled to make her debut against Red Velvet on the upcoming episode of Dynamite, and Baker was asked about the match. The Doctor was more concerned about herself and cut a typically self-absorbed promo about her recent success.
Baker said she didn't even consider Red Velvet an enemy until she tried to ruin her moment in Pittsburgh. The women's champion hilariously termed Chicago as 'Brittago' and kicked off a chant in the process.
Hayter got a few words in before Red Velvet's music hit. Velvet rushed to the ring and engaged in a brawl with Hayter.
Jamie used her power to drop Velvet on the ring apron, and the babyface was clearly outnumbered until Kris Statlander ran out to make the save. Baker and her group retreated to end the segment.
The Dark Order's Alan "5" Angels (w/ John Silver & 10) vs. Dante Martin on AEW Dark
The Dark Order's music got one of the loudest pops of the night as Angels walked out for his match with John Silver and Preston Vance by his side. Dante Martin also got a solid reception, which was a testament to his growing stock in the company.
On paper, this was a stylistic dream match between two of the best young talents in AEW. Martin (20) and Angels (23) started with a classic hammerlock tussle and continued with technical wrestling early on.
Dante took the upper hand via a big dropkick, but Angels knocked the Top Flight member outside. Angels leaped off the middle turnbuckle to wipe Martin out with a moonsault.
Back in the ring, Angels got a two-count after spiking Dante's head with a DDT. Martin fought out of a headlock and evaded Angels' punch by springing off the bottom rope into a backflip. A loud 'wow' echoed around the arena as Angels looked stunned at his opponent's athletic feat.
Martin landed a few elbow shots, followed by some pressure in the corner. He executed his springboard moonsault for a near fall. The crowd chanted 'Dante' as Angels began his comeback with an STO onto the ring apron.
The Dark Order member executed a flatliner and transitioned to a koji clutch in the center of the ring. Martin forced Angels into a pin and broke the hold.
Dante blocked the Wingsnapper with a kick to Angels' quad, then placed the latter on top, lifted him, and delivered a straight-jacket Death Valley driver for the win on AEW Dark.
Result: Dante Martin def. Alan "5" Angels in AEW Dark
Grade: B+
