5 Ups & 6 Downs From AEW Dark (May 26)

by Andy H Murray

1. The Natural Nightmares vs. The Dark Order

Hey, look! Another storyline on AEW Dark!

Allie appears to have her eye on QT Marshall. 'The Bunny' hit the bleachers munching an apple during the Natural Nightmares' bout with John Silver and Alex Reynolds, with QT mesmerised. "It's almost as if he has never seen a woman eat before," said Excalibur, and this led to minor friction with Brandi Rhodes, who called for her Nightmare Family associate to keep his eye on the ball.

Marshall scored a victory over The Dark Order by nailing a Cutter after Dustin Rhodes' Destroyer. Taking her leave, Allie blew a kiss before heading up the steps. This would appear to be the first step towards The Butcher and The Blade vs. the Nightmares, and good! Allie's beefy buddies are overdue a comeback.

From a wrestling sense, this was the best thing on the card too. You'd never know it from their AEW positioning here but Silver and Reynolds have been a solid indie tandem for years, with Silver particularly strong here, showing plenty of personality in defeat.
