5 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dark (Jan 19)

Ups...

5. Squishy Squashy

Santana and Ortiz squashed Jon Cruz and Danny Limelight with next to no fuss and it was perfect. Bullying and controlling throughout, they brushed off token offense from Limelight, smacked Cruz out of the skies (he never tagged in, only intervened) and put Danny out of his misery in little over a minute, which is as long as this bout needed to be.

The Inner Circle duo fought with big chips on their shoulders ahead of tonight's tag team three-way. In-character, they have major points to prove right now, so expect this mood to carry over into Dynamite.
