7 Ups & 0 Downs From AEW Dark (Mar 31)

by Andy H Murray

1. Lights Out

Jake Hager vs. Jon Moxley will soon go down in an AEW ring, with rumours suggesting the promotion has already taped it, and the feud continued with a short, effective angle on Dark.

'The Big Hurt' jumped the AEW World Champion after his main event victory. He put him down with a Uranage then applied the head-and-arm triangle - a combination Jake has used to end five consecutive opponents - with minimal interjection from referee Paul Turner, whose limp protestations on the outside couldn't save Moxley from going night night.

Quick, effective bursts of dominance are what we want to see from Hager. Let's hope the Moxley match is as convincing as his recent squashes.
