This ruled - and you should check it out immediately.

Regular Dark highlight Danny Limelight was able to craft openings early on, using his superior speed and slipperiness to foil Brian Cage. Occasionally, he got too caught up in himself, pausing to dance and taunt, leading to 'The Machine' dropping big bombs like an F5 on the apron. The jobber's most popping spot came after he had worked his way out of Weapon X, then evaded Cage by walking across the middle rope and leaping off with a Destroyer, scoring his last momentum swing. Cage finished him off with the Drill Claw seconds later.

AEW should sign Danny Limelight like yesterday. He's really, really good at playing an obnoxious little sh*t, and proved he has some significant athletic chops in this bout as well.
