7 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dark (Nov 24)

6. Ivelisse & Diamante Cruise

Aesthetically, Lady Frost and the renamed 'Bionic Beast' Jenna look like they could belong in a team together, though how the latter's cyborg-themed gimmick works in a promotion touting a sport-like feel remains to be seen. Either way, they were solid opposition for Diamante and Ivelisse, hitting their offensive spots well, fitting into the layout, and doing their job. Both should be invited back.

Ivelisse and Diamante work with great intensity. They're a lot of fun to watch when they click into gear and while the closing Thrust Kick into a Code Red looked a tad clunky, the Women's Tag Team Cup winners looked good throughout. Diamante ended up scoring the pinfall.

AEW's challenge now is building a more competitive division around Ivelisse and Diamante, who are one of only a handful of recognised women's tag teams in the company.
