AEW Dark results: Wheeler Yuta vs. Aaron Solo, Lee Moriarty vs. Anthony Henry

Posted on by Skylar Russell

This Tuesday’s AEW Dark was taped at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.

Julia Hart defeated Kelsey Heather

Heather tried to control Hart’s arm early on, but Hart fought back with fiery strikes. Shortly after, Hart trapped Heather in a headlock with her legs, forcing her to submit.

Powerhouse Hobbs defeated Gus De La Vega

Hobbs clotheslined Vega in the corner as soon as the bell rang. Vega tried to escape from the path of destruction, but Hobbs positioned him on the top turnbuckle and beat on his chest. Shortly after, Hobbs submitted him with the Torture Rack.

Hobbs beat down Vega after the match until Dante Martin made the save and chased him off.

Gunn Club (Austin & Colten) defeated The Skulk (Adrian Alanis & Liam Gray)  

Both Gunn brothers jumped Alanis and Gray as the bell rang. They took turns isolating Gray, mainly focusing on his back. Gray found a moment of hope when he was able to tag out to Alanis, but the move proved to be unsuccessful as Alanis was pinned after an assisted neckbreaker. 

Mercedes Martinez defeated Queen Aminata

Martinez threw some few forearms early on which got Aminata stumbling. Martinez kept her offense up, delivering a half and half suplex followed by a spinebuster. Martinez won shortly after with a fisherman’s buster.

Anthony Ogogo (w/ QT Marshall & Nick Comoroto) defeated Tony Vincita

Ogogo beat down Vincita and talked trash to the crowd. Vincita found his moment in the short match to attempt a top rope dropkick, but he completely missed. Ogogo finished him shortly after with his pop-up knockout punch.

Lee Moriarty defeated Anthony Henry

Henry and Moriarty were evenly matched up early on, trading grappling maneuvers back and forth. Henry focused on Moriarty’s neck after doing a twist using his feet. Moriarty fought back valiantly, eventually finding a second wind and initiating his comeback. 

After nailing a few kicks and slams, Moriarty fell back into dangerous territory with Henry applying a stretch muffler. Moriarty came close to submitting, but worked his way out. Shortly after, Henry fell victim to a Moriarty flatliner for the win.

Anna Jay (w/-1) defeated Kaci Lennox

Jay nailed Lennox with a variety of different kicks before locking in the Queenslayer submission which made Lennox submit quickly.

Fuego Del Sol defeated Serpentico (w/ Luther)

Del Sol nailed a kick that sent Serpentico reeling to the outside. When Del Sol went to dive on his opponent, Luther carried him out of the way and prevented it. This allowed Serpentico to regain his focus and piledrive Del Sol on the apron, followed by a senton from the top rope. All of that only got him a near fall.

Del Sol and Serpentico ended up on the outside of the ring where Del Sol performed a tornado DDT on the floor. He tossed Serpentico back in the ring shortly after and hit a double stomp on the neck which got him the win.

Wheeler Yuta defeated Aaron Solo (w/ QT Marshall)

Yuta went in with confidence and it translated immediately as he nailed Solo with a great standing dropkick. Yuta was in full control of the match until Marshall got involved — a move that allowed Solo to get back into the contest.

Solo slowly worked Yuta to the mat until the crowd got involved and willed him back into the match. Marshall kept trying to get involved but Yuta telegraphed it and shut it down rather quickly. After Solo missed a kick to the head, Yuta rolled him up for the surprise win.

After the match, Nick Comoroto ran down to the ring and helped Marshall and Solo beat down Yuta. Orange Cassidy made the save to end the show. 

PWG announces two replacements for Battle of Los Angeles

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Two replacements have been announced prior to Saturday’s PWG Battle of Los Angeles tournament.

The company announced tonight that both Jonathan Gresham and Davey Richards are out. Wheeler Yuta and Blake Christian have taken their place, and will face each other in the first round.

Gresham had tweeted earlier Friday that he would be unable to compete in the tournament due to COVID-19.

“Unfortunately, I will not be making it to LA tomorrow for BOLA. I recently caught covid, and as a result, I had to miss GCW at the Hammerstein Ballroom,” Gresham wrote. “I am still testing positive as of today and don’t want to put any colleagues/fans in harms way.”

Other first round matches that will take place on Saturday include Bandido vs. Speedball Mike Bailey, JONAH vs. Buddy Matthews, JD Drake vs. Black Taurus, Lee Moriarty vs. Alex Shelley, Jack Cartwheel vs. Lio Rush, Kevin Blackwood vs. Daniel Garcia, and Aramis vs. Rey Horus.

AEW Dark results: Penta El Zero Miedo vs. Wheeler Yuta

Posted on by Skylar Russell

This week’s seven-match AEW Dark from Washington, DC, was headlined by a clash between Wheeler Yuta from Best Friends and Penta El Zero Miedo of Lucha Bros.

The Bunny (w/ The Blade) defeated Erica Leigh

The Bunny slung Leigh by her hair around the ring a few times before focusing on some knee-based offense. Leigh tried to reverse a few of Bunny’s moves, but ultimately fell to The Rabbit Hole which got her the three count.

2point0 & Daniel Garcia defeated Pat Brink, Rayo and Kekoa

Garcia and 2point0 jumped their opposition before the bell, which gave them a running start. Once the bell rang, it was unclear who the legal man was but it didn’t matter as Garcia tapped out Rayo with a sharpshooter very quickly.

2point0 then cut a promo running down the Inner Circle, citing that their days are numbered. 

Lance Archer defeated Joe Keys

Keys dodged an Archer clothesline when he hit the ring, but immediately ate one shortly after. Archer took the bout to ringside and choked Keys on the barricade before tossing him back in the ring. Keys went to the second turnbuckle in an attempt to create some offense, but was on the receiving end of a Blackout that got Archer another win.

Leyla Hirsch defeated Janai Kai

Hirsch nailed Kai with a running knee before submitting her with the Legit Lock.

Gunn Club and The Acclaimed defeated Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, Alan “5” Angels and 10)

Uno and Bowens began the match before tags began to increase with Dark Order maintaining control. Eventually, Max Caster took an opportunity and pulled Alex Reynolds off the apron, sending him crashing face first to the floor. 

Reynolds became a point of isolation for the heels, but that didn’t last for long when 10 got the hot tag. He came in and cleaned house, sending both members of The Acclaimed over the top rope with a double clothesline. 

He tagged out to Angels, who hit a frog splash on Colten Gunn that resulted in a near fall. Austin Gunn came in and broke up the pin before helping Colten up. The pair hit a assisted floatover neckbreaker on Angels which gave him the win.

Penta El Zero Miedo defeated Wheeler Yuta (w/ Chuck Taylor & Kris Statlander) 

Yuta forced Penta to the mat early, applying a various amount of holds before Penta made it back to his feet. Penta applied a leglock of his own before Yuta escaped, leaving them at a stalemate.

Yuta began to mount some offense, sending Penta to the outside. When Yuta attempted a dive, Penta blocked it with a kick to the head. Penta got in the ring with the momentum and attempted a dive of his own, but Yuta blocked it at the last second with a forearm strike.

As the match went on, there was no dominance from either competitor as they traded multiple maneuvers back and forth. Penta attempted to put away Yuta with a rotating driver, but Yuta surprisingly powered out at two. Penta motioned to drill Yuta with a hanging DDT on the arena floor before hitting his signature package piledriver in the middle of the ring to successfully put away Yuta.

Jungle Boy (w/ Luchasaurus) defeated Nick Comoroto (w/ QT Marshall & Aaron Solo)

Comoroto was in the driver’s seat early on, working down one half of the AEW Tag Team Champions with slow-paced offense. The other members of The Factory made attempts to get involved, but Luchasaurus took care of them easily. Jungle Boy regained control of the bout after diving onto Comoroto at ringside.

Comoroto tried to fight back against a energized Jungle Boy once they made it back in the ring, but his efforts went unnoticed. Jungle Boy hit a teardrop brainbuster on Comoroto shortly after for a two count. 

The crowd was fully behind Jungle Boy at this point as he transitioned the failed pinfall into a snare trap which made Comoroto submit.
