7 Ups & 5 Downs From AEW Dark (Nov 24)
5. Recruitment Specialists Smoke Solow & Johnson
John Silver and Alex Reynolds continuing blossoming in their role as The Dark Order's recruitment specialists, and last night's match with Aaron Solow and Lee Johnson opened on this note, with Reynolds trying to coax Solow on. Solow threw up the Order's claw but turned it into a fist and smashed Reynolds early, meaning the jobbers opened in control.
Silver was his usual fun self, here, hossing the opposition around, pausing only to flex and yell "I'm freaking jacked, baby!". His highlights included an impressive throw on Solow and a Gorilla Press on Johnson. Speaking of Lee, he continues to stand out in his offensive flurries, roadmapping a bright future for him in America's second-biggest promotion.
A rapid-fire sequence of moves finished on a jackknife pin for The Dark Order duo, with Reynolds taking the honours. this was fun - and served its function as a way for Silver to heat up ahead of tonight's match with Hangman Page.
