Fuego Del Sol def. Jay MalachiI honestly can't remember the last time Fuego was in action on one of the Dark shows. He was feuding with The Factory for a brief stretch, but was there ever a proper payoff to that? Truthfully, it doesn't matter to me one way or the other, but any momentum he had from starting to adapt more of an edge is completely gone. This was an energetic sprint, if nothing else.

Marti Belle def. MadiBelle should be barred from wrestling singles matches, and I'm only half-joking when I say that. There's a reason she's better in tag team action, and that's because Allysin Kay can carry a majority of their matches (in addition to the chemistry they have as partners). Madi has been a prospect with potential since I first saw her on AEW Dark two years ago, but she's still inexperienced. Thus, putting these two together was not a smart call as it was a mediocre match to say the least.
Raw Women's Champion Bianca Belair def. WWE Women's Tag Team Champions IYO SKY (Non-Title)This was a rematch of SKY's in-ring debut on Raw two days after SummerSlam. This one had a clean finish, which is fine because another non-finish would have been lame. That said, SKY losing three days after Dakota Kai lost to Raquel Rodriguez in under two minutes on SmackDown doesn't exactly make Damage CTRL look strong. That said, Belair vs. SKY was as well-wrestled as you'd expect. Belair's verbal exchange with Bayley beforehand was also good and set up a Ladder match between the two for Extreme Rules.
Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford def. "Captain" Shawn Dean and Skye BlueIt was odd that Blue teamed with Dean and not her boyfriend Dante Martin, but they probably didn't want Martin getting pinned by Sabian. I believe this marked the first time Sabian and Ford have teamed up since both have been back. They're a good on-air couple (who are obviously legitimately married in real life), but I don't see them getting pushed overly the similarly-obnoxious duo of Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo. This was a decent match while it lasted.
