We have a great night of action scheduled for tonight’s AEW Dark! We currently have eight matches set, and there is plenty to look forward to! Rush looks to build momentum ahead of his clash with Bryan Danielson, and he’ll face Nightmare Factory graduate Aiden Park (better known as Parker Lee). Blake Christian looks to rebound after coming up short against Claudio Castagnoli for the ROH World Championship; he’ll have to beat Spanish Announce Project’s Serpentico. Our focus will be on Konosuke Takeshita as he prepares for his battle with AEW World Champion MJF in a title eliminator match, but tonight he faces MLW standout EJ Nduka!

Konosuke Takeshita vs. EJ Nduka
Riding on what might be the biggest wave of momentum in his career, Konosuke Takeshita is one night away from battling AEW World Champion MJF. If he wins, he will get a future opportunity at the AEW World Championship, but EJ Nduka has a chance to steal all of that momentum and pull off one of the biggest upsets in AEW history.
Though he is a new face to the AEW faithful, MLW fans know that Nduka is a threat to anyone between the ropes. He’s a former MLW World Tag Team Champion, having held the belts with Calvin Tankman. Standing at 6ft. 8in., and with an effective powerhouse offense, Nduke stands a better chance than most would think.
I still see Takeshita picking up the win, but Nduka will leave an impression.
