Alan "5" Angels & Preston "10" Vance (w/ -1) vs. Hayden Backlund & Kit Sackett on AEW Dark
-1 cosplayed his favorite wrestler Preston Vance, and he looked absolutely adorable! Bob Backlund's distant relative, Heyden Backlund, was back after last night's loss to Miro on AEW Dark: Elevation.
Vance executed a side headlock takedown on Sackett to begin the match. Kit matched Vance's height, but the Dark Order member was the bulkier of the two.
Preston used his power to maintain the early advantage for his team.
10 laid out Sackett with a back-body drop, and Angels hit a dropkick from the middle turnbuckle. Alan connected with almost a dozen furious rights on Sackett before ending the sequence with a kick. Backlund created a distraction with the referee, and Sackett hit a cheap shot on Angels.
Sackett and Backlund, however, lacked tag team synergy, and Hayden accidentally speared his partner. Angels executed a tornado back throw on Hayden. Backlund escaped a suplex, and Sackett made the blind tag.
Sackett couldn't isolate Angels as 5 made the hot tag to Vance.
Dark Order's most powerful member hit a spinebuster on Sackett. Angels rocked Hayden with a big boot on the outside.
Vance picked up the win for his team with the Full Nelson submission on Sackett.
Result: Alan "5" Angels & Preston "10" Vance def. Hayden Backlund & Kit Sackett on AEW Dark

Colt Cabana (w. -1) vs. Jake Manning on AEW Dark
-1 was out with Sammy Guevara's Vlog camera.
Jake Manning was quite an interesting character as he was reading a book in the corner during the pre-match introductions. Manning was in no mood to give his book away, but he finally relented to the ref's request and began the match.
Cabana scoop slammed Manning, who was back to reading the 'scout leaders' manual 'for strategies' to win.
Cabana delivered another scoop slam. Manning returned to his reading material, but this time, Cabana snatched the book off his opponent's hands. Colt ran around the ring with the book, and Manning frantically followed.
The book eventually caused a distraction for Manning to capitalize on, and he began to connect with a few punches.
Manning hit a sunset flip on Cabana onto the turnbuckles, which got him a two-count.
Manning got wobbly from Cabana's right-hand punch. "Boom Boom" hit his patented jabs, followed by an elbow and a modified bouncing splash from the top.
Cabana landed a few chops, but Manning hit a backbreaker-flatliner combo for a surprise two-count.
Manning went to the top, but Cabana swept his ankles. Colt stepped over Jake and locked in the Billy Goat's Curse (inverted/reverse Boston Crab) for the win on AEW Dark.
Result: Colt Cabana def. Jake Manning on AEW Dark
