Lee Johnson (w/ Cody Rhodes) vs. Fuego Del Sol on AEW Dark
Gear up for a high-flying contest as both of these men prefer the aerial route. It was also great to see Cody Rhodes on AEW Dark in support of his fellow Nightmare Family member. Johnson and Del Sol exchanged arm drags to begin the match.
Johnson mocked Del Sol, which irritated the luchador. Del Sol responded with the step-up hurricanrana followed by a Tiaras. Big Shotty Lee reacted with a big dropkick.
Johnson sent Del Sol into the corner with a hammer throw, and he followed through for a brutal elbow. Johnson hit a suplex and got a two-count. Taz felt that Johnson was a little arrogant in his demeanor.
Johnson got caught in a Boston crab, but Lee broke free with a few up-kicks. Lee executed a three-move combo that included a fireman's carry slam, a kick to the head, and a standing moonsault. Del Sol kicked out at two from the subsequent pinfall.
Johnson drove his knee between the shoulder blades of Del Sol. Fuego broke the hold with a jawbreaker and evaded a few punches before dropping Johnson with a Stunner.
Both men were down on the mat as the referee began the ten-count. They used the ropes to beat the count at eight, and Del Sol drew first blood with a series of forearm shots.
Del Sol leaped off the top rope to lay out Johnson on the outside with a moonsault. Back in the ring, Del Sol delivered a diving crossbody from the top turnbuckle. Johnson rolled through and picked him up, but Del Sol escaped for a quick pinfall.
Johnson kicked out, but Del Sol rocked his opponent with a savage kick to the face. Del Sol almost pulled off a massive upset win right there!
Johnson, however, countered Del Sol's Tornado DDT with the Blue Thunder Powerbomb for the win on AEW Dark.
Result: Lee Johnson def. Fuego Del Sol on AEW Dark

Mitchell came in and got laid out with an assisted neckbreaker. Cabana and Uno stomped away on Mitchell and executed a smooth Manhattan drop-dropkick combo.

Cabana got the tag and hit a neckbreaker-DDT combo on Vineesh and Mitchell. Cabana hit the flying apple in the corner on Mitchell, followed by a big boot from Uno.
Uno delivered the Senton Atomico before Colt ended the match with the Billy Goat's Curse (Reverse Boston crab).
