6 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dark (Dec 15)

Downs...

3. The Skippables

Brandon Cutler Baron Black
AEW

Here's your list of textbook Dark pseudo squashes for the week:-

Baron Black vs. Brandon Cutler

Anna Jay vs. Dani Jordyn

Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss vs. Sean Maluta and RYZIN

Tay Conti vs. Freya States

Matt Sydal vs. Danny Limelight

Ivelisse vs. Kaci Lennox

The Acclaimed vs. Louie Valle and Mike Magnum

The usual situation applies here. While these competitive squashes weren't necessarily bad, they were built from a near-identical framework, contributing to the show's general sluggishness. This makes them difficult to recommend to anyone but diehard fans of the participants.
