2 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Deadly Draw: Women's Tag Team Tournament (Aug 17)

Ups...

2. Ivelisse & Diamante vs. Tay Conti & Anna Jay

This was significantly better than the first match, though nothing blow-away. Blow-away shouldn't be expected, though: Anna Jay has only worked around a dozen professional matches and Tay Conti might be an interesting prospect, but she's far from the finished product.

Still, there's something in both teams. Each has a strong dynamic, they have already clicked together, and they have proven themselves capable of wrestling above the tournament's average working standards.

Ivelisse and Diamante ended up taking the victory after shutting down a Conti hot tag. An admittedly sloppy exchange of strikes gave way to bigger bombs as tandem Stunners were hit on TayJay, allowing Diamante to nail Sliced Bread for the win.
