[5.0] "Bland and plain show. My first dark. It's like Excalibur and Taz podcast with some wrestling in the background. I'm never a fan of Taz but I actually enjoyed them two back and forth for the hour. Decent main, and always love seeing the fallen angel"

[5.0] "A bit disappointed by this Dark which, despite a good opener and a good main event, only threw matches without too much interest and on a total duration a bit long for what we retain in the end. 5/10 (2* 1/2). Show seen on AEW's YouTube channel."

[6.0] "Good show overall. Nothing overwhelming but, that is to be expected from an enhancement show. The main event was a solid match. The opener was pretty good as well with the later segment with the Andersons and Pillman, Jr. setting up a potential tag team storyline to be played out on Dark and Elevation. Good to see Rohit Raju, Jora Johl and Shawn Dean getting some air time to hone their craft on television. Good showing in a losing effort by Ruffin in order to set up another feud to be played out on Dark and Elevation. Overall, a good show. As an enhancement show it did what it needed to do. Enhance the talent."

[5.0] "Super skippable edition of Dark. Skippable matches from start to finish, short timing for everyone and zero moments to remember."
