13 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dark (Nov 3)

3. Frankie Kazarian vs. RYZIN

Taz is always fun on Dark, as the former ECW World Champion cuts loose in the announce booth, popping his fellow broadcasters (and the audience) throughout the night. Here, he highlighted a straightforward Dark clash by dropping a Terra Ryzin joke while the enhancement talent was in control. Pour one out for Paul Levesque.

Otherwise, this was typical Dark fodder: well-worked, but basic and uneventful. Kazarian won with his Inverted DDT.

The Hybrid 2 jumped Kaz after the bell, with Christopher Daniels making the save. A tag match looks likely as this Dark storyline progresses.
