7 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dark (Sep 15)

1. Diamante & Ivelisse vs. Skyler Moore & Rache Chanel

Rache Chanel is yet to work a Dark match in which her losing effort didn't undermine the winner's rub through her clunky, awkward work, and unfortunately looked off the pace again here, diminishing whatever momentum Ivelisse was supposed to take heading into tonight's NWA Women's Title match.

The bout wasn't up to scratch. Diamante and Ivelisse couldn't get anything out of Chanel in particular, who contributed to most of the bout's dodgier moments. Rache ended up taking the pin to 'La Sicaria' after several awkward exchanges.

This was stodge, and 100% skippable.
