[6.0] "An above average episode of Dark with a really good main event, also enjoyed the Santana and Ortiz match."

[5.0] "SCU v. Feugo Del Sol & Low Rider (1/10) - I like all the wrestlers involved, but it was a total squash. I hope there's a competitive friendly rivalry between Kaz & Sky soon. Five v. Lee Johnson (4/10) - I shockingly dug this match. I feel like Johnson is close to being signed, and setting up lore like this between two young lions like this is great. Proud N' Powerful v. Musa & Brady Pierce (2/10) - Another nothing squash. Ortiz and Santana are always entertaining, but the character development shown by Pierce by not backing down was a nice touch. Butcher and Blade v. Pineapple Pete & Anthony Catena (1/10) - Great to see Butcher & Blade back, but this was a total squash. Pete was kinda funny. QT Marshall v. Zack Clayton (3/10) - I love the storyline more than the actual match, the tension in The Natural Nightmares is great. Christopher Daniels v. Sonny Kiss (5/10) - Kiss' best singles' outing to date, he has improved a ton and his offense is really unique. CD continues to prove that he can hold his own, and be dominant. Jurassic Express v. Brandon Cutler & Peter Avalon (5/10) - I thought this was a fun match, and a good instance to let Marko get some offense. Avalon is hilarious throughout, and it was a pretty competitive match Jon Moxley v. Robert Anthony (6/10) - Pretty good showing, always nice to see Mox switch up his style. Anthony looked super impressive too holding his own against the champ, hope there's more for him to do in the future. Only complain is Taz on commentary treating Anthony like a jobber and slamming Mox for not being able to put him away quicker."

"I don't like Moxley's attempts to show himself as a legitimate fighter and his obsession with adding MMA holds to his moveset. Mox was dull enough as it is, but brought intensity to his matches with ruthless aggression. Now everything is at snails pace and his attempts at submission wrestling are falling so short. Other than that I enjoyed Marko and Avalon's work in their tag. Christopher Daniels also stood out, his selling of his creaking body really had me thinking he was heading for defeat. I would really like the interviews and promos back in Dark, the show plods along without them."

[6.0] "I would be giving this a 5, but it gets a bonus point. Everything was Dark's of late empty-arena, except for the mainevent -- several members of the locker-room came to ringside to watch the World Champion's match. It might be barely anything at all, but it is a subtle touch that deserves some praise. Matches were mostly fine, mainevent was an enjoyable *** - ***Πmatch. Perfectly watchable edition of AEW Dark."

[5.0] "My favorite Dark in a while. Still too long of a show with 5 minute matches and few promo/story segments. Mox vs Anthony and Angels vs Johnson were good. QT and Allie are having a fine b show story. No women's match isn't great."

[7.0] "SCU match was OK but kinda pointless - fun fact is that 4 of Low Rider's last 5 matches were for MLW, Impact, AAA, and AEW, the kid's getting chances! B&B match was good to give them a little heat for their upcoming match with FTR and Catena looked solid in his debut. Suge D is now officially Pineapple Pete. PNP match was thrown in there and I don't think was necessary. Cutler & Avalon vs. Jurassic Express match was a bit awkward as I don't think those four worked well together *1/2. QT vs. Clayton was OK for a squash just because of the giant T-shirts. Clayton looked solid in his debut. Daniels vs. Kiss was a solid match **1/2. Five vs. Lee Johnson was good for giving Angels/5 a win but nothing else. Moxley vs. Anthony put on a very good match with Anthony putting over Moxley well but Moxley also selling what Anthony dished out and refusing to go away and also served to prove the plot point that Moxley could submission wrestle ***. An above average episode of Dark"
