Clark vs Darby Allin opened the show.
-
Clark sneak attacked Darby as he was skateboarding down to the ring. He continued playing the heel for the rest of the match.
-
Clark’s wearing black cargo-ish skinny pants that have no logos besides his “100 Proof” belt buckle.
-
The commentators have referred to Clark as “the running mate of Gabe Kidd,” since Gabe was part of the Darby vs Death Riders feud that recently concluded. They also did mention him being part of the new faction “Unbound Co.”; after AEW called him a War Dog in a now-deleted tweet hyping the match.
-
Darby beat Clark in about 14 minutes with the Scorpion Deathlock. Match was very good, Clark got some good spots and a nearfall in.
-
Post match, Darby started cutting a promo about going after the AEW World title, but Gabe Kidd attacked him.
-
Gabe and Clark face planted Darby onto the steel steps then crushed him underneath them.
-
Gabe promo while standing on the steps. He says he isn’t here on Death Rider business, he’s on Gabe Kidd time. He can’t stop thinking about when Darby beat him at World’s End, Gabe won’t stop following Darby until he succeeds in killing him. Clark and Gabe got one more shot in before leaving.
-
Tony Schiavone then called Gabe and Clark “War Dogs of NJPW”. I don’t know if that was an honest slip up or there’s something more going on there, since he was the one who had also referred to Unbound Co.
