6 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dark (Nov 17)

1. Stars!

Darby Allin
AEW

AEW's biggest stars rarely show their faces on Dark, so it was nice to see Darby Allin and Cody Rhodes making an appearance ahead of Dynamite's tag with Team Taz.

Allin hit the ring, put his TNT Championship on the mat, and beckoned Starks forth from the announce table. Ricky was soon joined by Brian Cage, but Cody Rhodes ran out before they could double-team Allin, his producer's headset still around his skull. Chased away by a chair-wielding 'American Nightmare', Team Taz were furious.

Darby teased hitting a Coffin Drop with his spiked suit jacket, suggested something wild could go down on Dynamite. Either way, great to see some star power on this week's web show.
