7 Ups & 2 Downs From AEW Dark (Jul 21)

6. Diamante vs. KiLynn King

KiLynn King Diamante

Diamante looked to warm up for her Dynamite match with Ivelisse by facing enhancement talent KiLynn King, whose performances have varied. They ended up having a good, clean bout worked at a good clip, even when they were grappling, with King playing up her significant size advantage without making Diamante look overmatched.

The bout ran just five minutes though the competitive back-and-forth nature was appropriate, given that Diamante had only been used as a jobber prior to this, though the win gives her a propulsive jolt as we look forward to Dynamite tonight. The ex-Impact wrestler's triumph came via Code Red.

A fine glimpse of what Diamante can do.
