Kenny Omega vs. Marko Stunt was teased heavily as Jurassic Express challenged for the AEW Tag Team Championships. That could be a hoot, given how annoying Marko has been lately, and 'The Cleaner' constantly took the p*ss out of him last night, slapping him off the apron and smashing him with a Snap Dragon on the outside.

Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy put up an impressive fight against the best tag team on the planet, with a solo Frankie Kazarian watching on from the bleachers. This was a typically spirited babyface performance from the challengers. Jungle Boy sold well and burst into life when appropriate, Luchasaurus' power was frequently too much for the champs to handle, and there were plenty of moments that would have ignited a larger crowd, culminating in the match-ending V-Trigger/Buckshot Lariat combo.

A good, effective match with the right results. Omega and Page's run rumbles on with FTR, The Young Bucks, and more waiting in the wings.
