6 Ups & 1 Down From AEW Late Night Dynamite (Sep 22)

5. BFF's

Matt Sydal Scorpio Sky Alex Marvez
AEW

Alex Marvez caught up with Scorpio Sky after his victory over Ben Carter, with the SoCal Uncensored man putting his opponent over as a "stud with a bright future," then reaffirming his desire to become TNT Champion. Matt Sydal showed up mid-sentence. The duo talked each other up, with Sydal set to face Shawn Spears, then agreed to hit the bar after the show, going their separate ways to close.

Nothing particularly complex, here, but this simple segment accomplished two goals:-

1. Established the Sydal/Sky friendship ahead of the post-main event angle.

2. Dolloped extra heat on Sydal vs. Spears by acknowledging that Matt eliminated Shawn from the recent Casino Battle Royale.

Quick, effective booking.
