6 Ups & 3 Downs From AEW Dark (Feb 9)

3. Bulldozers

Brian Cage
AEW

Shout-outs to Brian Cage and Nyla Rose for dispatching their opponents with zero fuss last night, bulldozing the competition quickly and emphatically.

Cage's win over Jake St. Patrick was a shellacking. Thrust kicks, biel throws, and German Suplexes were the name of the game early on, with 'The Machine' only stopping to fistbump Hook. A trio of Powerbombs (with the final one on Cage's knee) preceded the Drill Claw finish.

Rose's crushing of Miranda Alize wasn't quite as explosive as Cage's, but nobody is as explosive and powerful as big beefy Brian. Nyla swatted her smaller opponent like a fly, bludgeoned her with a clobbering assault, then finished her off with the Beast Bomb. Perfect. Everything it needed to be.

Hosses are the best.
