Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which this week features seven matches once again… You know I love a shorter show! Anyway, on with the review.
Match #1: Kiera Hogan def. Danika Della Rouge
My Thoughts: This was an Ok match to open the show, I would say this was akin to an Aew quasi-squash but Rouge managed to get just enough offence in to make it look like more of a competitive match-up.
My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Brian Cage def. Carl Randers
My Thoughts: After seeing Brian Cage’s match on Elevation this felt like a massive comedown and a return to the kinds of squash matches we’ve seen from him in the past. A shame.
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #3: Sammy Guevara and Daniel Garcia def. Brian Cook & Deimos

Another week, another episode of Aew: Dark which is another stacked 10-match card And a live audience thanks to being taped in DC… On with the review!
Match #1: Lance Archer def. Alec Odin
My Thoughts: Two matches in a row for Archer, this was even more of a squash than his Elevation match this week! Odin did get a move or two in but this was very much Archer’s match.
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Penelope Ford, Serena Deeb and Jamie Hayter def. Jordan Blade, Trish Adora and Brittany Blake
My Thoughts: I was totally surprised to see that this match Wasn’T a squash – as it certainly looked like it would be on paper. Thankfully this instead was a well-fought, competitive match – one that really showcased the trio of heels to perfection.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #3: Hikaru Shida def. Marina Shafir
My Thoughts: Well colour me shocked!

Match #1: Hikaru Shida def. Erica Leigh
My Thoughts: Straight out of the gate, we’ve got a typical Aew quasi-squash match, with Shida not Totally demolishing and embarrassing her opponent here but still being in control of this match entirely. A quick sub-three minute match to kick off this week’s show!
My Score: 1.5 out of 5 Match #2: Lance Archer def. Papadon
My Thoughts: And we get a re-run of the previous match here… only from the male perspective! Papadon got in quite a bit of offence but there was no way any of it was going to have any real impact on Archer…
My Score: 1.5 out of 5 Match #3: Emi Sakura def.

Match #1: Leyla Hirsch def. Brittany Blake
My Thoughts: Always glad to see Leyla Hirsch in a match, no matter the show. Here she takes on Brittany Blake, making her Aew debut, in a match that saw Hirsch feel more like a babyface than the heel she’s being pushed as in her feud with Kris Statlander. Not that she didn’t have a mean streak here – as she always does =- but it felt like commentary were behind her rather than Blake, who should have been this matches babyface.
