Angelo Parker & Matt Menard vs. Darby Allin & Nick Wayne

[4.0] "Another bad match here, a shame because this one actually had a tiny potential. It was more of the same and didn't added quite nothing for me - {*3/4}"

[6.0] "Very solid TV match. The former 3.0 aren't a huge threat by themselves but they are always fun. Nick Wayne continues to look good as a Darby ally, and Darby never stops giving 200% effort so he's endlessly fun to watch. Enjoying the Christian feud as well."

[5.0] "Let's see, I understand that AEW wants to make Darby and Christian finally have a longer rivalry and so on, but this feud is pointless and it just seems like they want to get Nick Wayne on this one just because. I hope time does something better with them because for now, between this fight and that the highlight is Christian's promo it doesn't look too good. It's just stretching for the sake of stretching."

[5.0] "The finishing spot at the end was good but beyond that this felt like it should have been on Rampage if it wasn't for the fact Christian came out (second match in a row a heels music hit to distract the face). Why is Nick Wayne on my TV? He needs to be packed off to ROH for 3 years and come back when he is ready. This is doing him no favours."

[6.0] "Other than the finishing sequence (Darby's coffin drop happening simultaneously with Nick Wayne's moonsault), this match was filled with the respective wrestler's usual spots. That's not a complaint necessarily, as it seems like this entire match was booked to service the ongoing feud between Christian and Darby. In that respect, the match and the in-match commentary furthered things well."

[5.0] "This match was average and had the potential for improvement. It seemed like a filler bout to advance the Christian vs. Darby storyline. I hope Nick Wayne aligns with Christian for a heel turn on Darby, giving him a much-needed direction in AEW, as he appears somewhat lost."

[4.0] "And just after I complained about people's entrances interrupting matches constantly in AEW now... It happens again in the very next match! At least this time they had the decency to do it very early before the match had the chance to get going. I like most of the people in this match (Wayne is the odd man out - nothing about him interests me so far), but there was not a lot here to comment on. Perfectly serviceable, but nothing interesting in the slightest. Christian's promo in the post-match was much better than anything in the match itself."

[6.0] "Just a match that happened so the Darby/Christian thing can move forward into Grand Slam. 2.0 are good heels but their heat segments were pretty bland, and Wayne as a face in peril was also just fine. Hager didn't really do much on the outside so I have to wonder how much ex-JAS will just stick together just without Jericho around. I will say however that the hot tag to Darby itself was really smooth, and the finish was also really nice visually. A Darby match where Darby has the least stuff to do out of four guys isn't great. **3/4+"

[4.0] "While I'm a dedicated Darby Allin fan and hold him in high regard as one of the most exceptional talents of this generation, I must candidly admit that the match in question proved to be the least captivating spectacle of the entire show. My admiration for Darby Allin aside, the contest itself left much to be desired. I firmly assert that the decision to feature him in more prominent matches is not only justified but also eagerly anticipated by fans like myself. Regrettably, the encounter in question was rather underwhelming, failing to deliver the excitement and intrigue that wrestling enthusiasts have come to expect. It felt, regrettably, like just another run-of-the-mill tag team bout destined to fade into the annals of wrestling history as an unremarkable footnote. In light of Darby Allin's immense potential and skill set, I fervently believe that his future matches hold the promise of far greater entertainment and wrestling brilliance."
