Lee Johnson & Brock Anderson vs. Eli Knight & Malik Bosede (AEW Tag Team Debut) on AEW Dark

Brock Anderson locked up with Malik Bosede in the AEW Dark match and faced some difficulty while countering the initial grappling exchanges. Anderson is still very green in the ring, and it showed during the early seconds of the match. Brock managed to drop Bosede with a slam and tried to kick a hole in his opponent's chest with some aggressive stomps.

Lee Johnson came in and delivered a snapmare and a kick to Bosede's spine. Eli Knight got the tag and was immediately taken off his feet by Johnson.

Eli Knight showed off his agility with a brilliant hand spin. Johnson one-upped him with a front-flip counter. Knight had some grit in him as he shoved Johnson in the face and screamed, "You can't beat me."

Big Shotty responded with a massive clothesline. He sent Bosede out of the ring before tagging Brock Anderson back into the match.

Arn Anderson's son dropped Knight with a spinebuster before Johnson came through for a frog splash from the top turnbuckle. Brock covered Knight for the three-count.

Daniel Garcia (w/ 2point0) vs. RSP on AEW Dark

Daniel Garcia and RSP began with a high-octane collar and elbow tie-up. Garcia used the referee to create a distraction before going on the offensive. Daniel used familiar-looking strikes to keep RSP on the ground.

Garcia caught RSP's roundhouse kick and executed a perfect dragonscrew. Daniel Garcia knew that he was no match for RSP's power, and he focussed on keeping his opponent on the mat.

Garcia targeted the knees and head with a variety of strike-based moves. 2point0 briefly got involved in the match with an assist from the outside. RSP responded with an enziguri that staggered Garcia.

Daniel countered the chokeslam with a guillotine. RSP broke the submission hold by delivering a brutal toss across the ring.
