AEW Dark results: Orange Cassidy & Danhausen vs. The WorkHorsemen

This week’s AEW Dark lineup featured matches taped in both January and February at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.

Action Andretti defeated Tony Deppen

After some back and forth early, Andretti applied a headlock to Deppen before bouncing him off the ropes and nailing him with a dropkick.

The match then spilled outside for a brief moment where Deppen drove Andretti into the floor with a falcon arrow. Back in the ring, Deppen maintained control until Andretti surprised him with a backbreaker/neckbreaker combo. Andretti followed that up with a dive onto Deppen on the outside which missed terribly.

In the final stages, Andretti kipped up when Deppen was positioned on the top rope. Andretti sprung to the top rope with Deppen and superplexed for a near fall. Moments later, Andretti pinned the former ROH TV Champion after landing his signature shooting star press and rebound from his loss to Sammy Guevara Friday.

Evil Uno defeated J. Spade

Uno dominated the entire match from the get-go. After delivering a few shoulder tackles and big boots, Uno hit Spade with It’s Something Evil to pick up the victory and rebound from his loss to Jon Moxley on Wednesday.

Parker Boudreaux defeated Joe Ocasio

Boudreaux slammed Ocasio into the mat about six different times before rubbing his forearm into his eye. Moments later, Boudreaux hit Ocasio with a lifting gut wrench backdrop for the win. It’s expected he and Swerve Strickland will take on Keith Lee and Dustin Rhodes next.

Shawn Dean defeated Invictus Khash

The majority of this bout was in favor of the Captain who had control from the bell. At one point, Khash turned the tables and tried to control Dean’s midsection, but Dean reversed a hold and turned it into a DDT for the pin and win.

Leila Grey defeated Sahara Seven

Seven overwhelmed Grey early on to a point where Grey had to roll out of the ring. Seven responded by leaning out of the middle rope which allowed Grey to hit her with a great pump kick. That was followed up by a running bulldog from Grey which scored a near fall. The match stayed on the mat for the remaining time, allowing Grey to submit Seven with a armbar.

Willie Mack defeated Joe Keys

Keys took advantage of Mack’s speed early on and seemingly wore him out. This allowed Keys to hit a butterfly suplex and a draping DDT back-to-back. Mack eventually put an end to Keys’ momentum by hitting him with a great stunner. He wrapped up the match quickly after, landing his signature top rope splash.

Shane Taylor defeated Adrian Alanis

Alanis mouthed off to Taylor before the bell which obviously didn’t end well. After a few strikes and shoulder tackles, Taylor cracked him with a standing headbutt. After Alanis kicked out of Taylor’s running splash, he was subjected to a package piledriver which got Taylor the win.

Lee Moriarty defeated Vary Morales

Morales, who had the crowd behind him, sent Moriarty to the mat early on. The match quickly spilled outside which allowed Moriarty to throw his opponent into the steel steps with his arm tucked behind his back.

Moriarty continued to target the arm throughout the match with various submissions. Moriarty would finish the bout after rolling out of the way of a splash and hitting Morales with a running knee strike to that injured arm.

Arjun Singh defeated Blake Li

Singh was the calmer individual in this match. Li tried to do many moves at a high speed pace, but Singh was able to slow him down with ease due to his massive size. After nailing him with a running powerslam, Singh caught Li with a running knee strike for the win.

Top Flight, AR Fox & Matt Sydal defeated The Trustbusters (Ari Daivari, Jeeves Kay, Sonny Kiss & Slim J)

Darius Martin and Daivari started out and Daivari quickly tagged out to Kiss, which led to a fantastic sequence between Kiss and Darius that was basically just a collection of reversals.

Kay and Darius Martin were up next and after a shorter back and forth, Martin and Sydal delivered a double dropkick to Kay, which led to Daivari re-entering. The Trustbusters took control of the match as Daivari hit a neckbreaker through the second rope on Darius.

Daivari and the Trustbusters began to tag in and out frequently as everyone got in a few licks on Darius. Fox eventually got the hot tag and hit a cutter on Kay. After hitting a roll-through brainbuster on Slim J, Fox was blasted with a superkick from a recovered Kay.

Everything was very fast-paced at this point and I honestly lost track of who was legal. In the final stages, Slim J hit Sydal with a jumping DDT from the second rope for a near fall. Slim J was then hit with a Nose Dive/powerslam combination from Dante Martin, which was the finishing move of the match.

Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal & Satnam Singh defeated Jackson Drake, Jay Malachi & Oliver Sawyer

Lethal and Sawyer started out and after exchanging a few holds, Singh and Malachi came in the match. Singh dribbled Malachi’s head off the mat like a basketball before Jarrett tagged in and submitted him with a figure four leglock.

Peter Avalon defeated Dean Alexander

Avalon immediately took Alexander to the mat and locked in a hold. Alexander was able to escape, but Avalon responded with a pair of knees to the back of his opponent’s head to score the quick win. He faces Chris Jericho on Wednesday.

AEW All-Atlantic Champion Orange Cassidy & Danhausen defeated The WorkHorsemen

Anthony Henry circled Cassidy and gave him a thumbs-up as the match started. After rolling around on the mat and exchanging a few holds and pins, Henry and Cassidy tagged out to their respective opponents.

Danhausen and JD Drake did a test of strength, but instead of completing the test, Danhausen just stomped on Drake’s foot. Danhausen proceeded to curse Drake before tagging out to Cassidy. Drake immediately unloaded a chop on Cassidy that spent him reeling to the corner.

Drake worked down Cassidy for a few moments, which allowed the crowd to get behind Cassidy in a big way. Henry came in and tried to submit Cassidy with an octopus stretch, which ultimately failed. Drake came in and tried to hit Cassidy with a Vader Bomb, but that also failed.

Danhausen came in and had a small sequence with Henry before Drake came back in and hit Danhausen with a shining wizard for a near fall. Cassidy found his way back in and hit a stunner on Drake, which gave Danhausen enough momentum to launch him over his head with a German suplex.

Cassidy and Danhausen scored the win moments later after Danhausen hit Henry with a Go To Sleep.
