6 Ups & 8 Downs From AEW Dark (Oct 13)
2. Matt Sydal vs. Sonny Kiss
Sonny's pre-match promo saw him call this a chance to show that he is just as adept in singles matches as tags, going up against a generational high-flyer in Matt Sydal. Kiss entered a strong performance. Though he was dropped on his head with what looked like a misjudged Sidewalk Slam, his defensive work was strong, his comebacks well-timed, and his nearfalls believable.

Missing the split leg drop from the second rope proved fatal for 'The Concrete Rose,' who was put away with modified Cobra Clutch soon after. A light, breezy encounter with solid action, and an easy Up on a show like this.
