4 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dark (Feb 25)

1. The Secret Weapon

Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall cut a quick promo before their match with Shawn Spears and Peter Avalon. Marshall claimed it was an honour to team with a legend like Dustin, who promised a "secret weapon" to counter Leva Bates and Tully Blanchard's inevitable ringside presence, building a shred of intrigue for an otherwise routine contest.

That "secret weapon"? Brandi Rhodes.

Hardly with the brief build-up, eh?

Consider this the gentlest of gentle Downs. This didn't exactly ruin anything, but, like... why even bother?
