#7. The Acclaimed vs. Louie Valle & Mike Magnum on AEW Dark
Caster's bars weren't as fire as most weeks, and that was a darn shame. However, Bowens' boombox was a substantial addition to their whole act on AEW Dark.
Max got things rolling against Magnum, who got taken down with a dropkick to the kidney area. Magnum still managed to make the tag to Valle. Bowens was the legal man, and he got rocked with a Valle dropkick. Valle went for a springboard attack, but Bowens countered.
Bowens was now in control, and he chopped Valle in the corner. Seven unanswered chops in the corner from Bowens, and he sent a message to SCU while looking straight at the camera. Caster got the tag, and he continued to punish Valle.
Bowens got tagged back in, and he drove his elbow across Valle's throat. He connected a series of elbows to the back of Valle's head.
Caster came in and dropped Valle with a big side suplex. Valle avoided an avalanche suplex and connected with a missile dropkick. Valle crawled to his corner and made the tag to Magnum.
Mike Magnum was feeling it as he laid out both the Acclaimed members.
Caster and Bowens, however, shut Magnum down with a series of strikes in the corner. They took Valle out of the equation before delivering the Claim to Fame on Magnum for the win.
Result: The Acclaimed def. Louie Valle & Mike Magnum on AEW Dark
Grade: B
#8. Dani Jordyn vs. Anna Jay on AEW Dark
Anna Jay wasn't too pleased with Dani Jordyn's burn book, and the Dark Order member attacked her opponent from the back.
Jordyn got some early momentum with a few kicks. Dani got the burn book as she walked on the apron, but Jay kicked her in the face. The burn book must have made it ten times more painful for Jordyn.
Jordyn flattened Anna Jay with a facebuster for a two-count. Anna Jay responded with a bicycle kick before locking in the Queen Slayer for the win.
Result: Anna Jay def. Dani Jordyn on AEW Dark
Grade: C

#9. Stu Grayson & Evil Uno vs. Bear Country (Bear Bronson & Bear Boulder) (AEW Tag Team Debut) on AEW Dark
Last week it was Pandas; this week, we had Bears. Talk about diversity in AEW!
Uno and Bear Bronson kicked off the match. Peter Avalon began talking about the symmetry of Uno's face.
Bronson looked impressive as he took Uno down with a running senton. Stu Grayson got the tag and got right in Bear Boulder's face.
Grayson couldn't get Boulder down. Bear got Stu in the Gorilla press position before dropping him down to the mat. Bear Country was dominating the proceedings, but Uno made the blind tag and low bridged Bronson.
Stu created a distraction, and Uno pounded on Bronson on the outside. Bronson was now in a world of trouble as Evil Uno and Stu Grayson wore the Bear Country member down in their corner. Dark Order delivered a Russian Leg Sweep-kick combo for a two-count. The Dark Order then executed another double team move.
Bronson, however, tried to create some separation with a few strikes. He dropped both Uno and Grayson with a double back suplex. Bronson made it to his corner and tagged Boulder in.
Boulder scoop slammed both members of the Dark Order before getting Uno in the Fireman's carry. He also caught Grayson in mid-air and dropped both men down on the mat. That was insane!
Bronson got the tag, and they focussed on Grayson, who kicked both men in the head with a backflip strike; Uno got the tag and took Boulder out before targeting Bronson. Bear Country set up both Dark Order members in the corner before delivering a double cannonball! Holy sh**! Pinfall. 1...2...kick out! That was close and almost an upset.
Boulder had Bronson on his shoulder, and he dropped him down, but Grayson wasn't home. Stu then lifted Boulder on his shoulder and dropped him back-first into the knee. Inhumane strength on display! Dark Order finally executed the Fatality on Bronson for the win on AEW Dark.
Result: Stu Grayson & Evil Uno def. Bear Country (Bear Bronson & Bear Boulder) on AEW Dark
Grade: A+
I just have one thing to say. SIGN BEAR COUNTRY! The big men looked incredible on their first night in AEW, and several fans echoed the same sentiment.
