6 Ups & 8 Downs From AEW Dark (Oct 13)

5. Nyla Rose vs. KiLynn King

A fired-up KiLynn King promo saw the enhancement wrestler claiming Nyla Rose jumping here from behind made her look like a coward, vowing to stand her ground after proving herself as somebody the former Women's Champion couldn't throw around in their previous bout.

This turned out to be kinda hilarious, really, as King was trucked by Rose despite starting hot. 'The Native Beast' had little trouble aside from a few offensive spurts, beating King up for about a minute before putting her away via Beast Bomb.

The squash was solid - as was Vickie Guerrero's post-match promo. Tired of being put to the side in favour of other wrestlers, Guerrero said Rose wouldn't wrestle again until Hikaru Shida answered her challenge. This makes sense as it feels like Nyla has been number one in the rankings for months.
