Jimmy Havoc vs. Darby Allin: B
This number one contender's match was more notable for the angle rather than the actual ring work itself, though both men brought a gritty feel to the encounter. Both could take a lot of punishment and had unorthodox styles, even going so far as to bite each other during the match.
The result was no surprise, though, as everyone expected Darby Allin to win. That was the right decision. Allin has gotten over since his match with Cody in the summer and now he will get some main event shine in an encounter with Chris Jericho.
Riho and Britt Baker vs. Bea Priestley and Emi Sakura: D
If AEW has a weakness, it's definitely its women's division. This match wasn't bad, but there were some problems with it and it was the lowlight of the show. There was a disjointed feel at times, as Emi Sakura was trying to pump up the crowd, seemingly forgetting that she was supposed to be the heel in the affair.
More alarmingly, AEW made its women's champion feel like an afterthought in the beef between Baker and Priestley, as she was playing the role of referee or security guard in trying to break up their brawl after the match.
Baker takes Riho on next week. Priestley is likely to interfere, so it may lead somewhere, but still, making the champion feel like the third wheel is never a good move.
