Jungle Boy on a Roll After Double or Nothing Victory
Jungle Boy‘s surprise win in the Casino Battle Royale at Double or Nothing shows that AEW has big plans for the young star going forward, as his win on Sunday guarantees him a future shot at the AEW World Championship. Last night on Elevation, Jungle Boy kept his momentum going with a submission win over JD Drake. Tonight on AEW Dark, he looks to make it three in a row when he faces off against Bear Bronson.
Diamante Battles Red Velvet on AEW Dark
Both Diamante and Red Velvet are talented younger stars looking to make a name for themselves, yet so far a breakout win has eluded them both. Red Velvet had a chance a couple of weeks ago to upset Serena Deeb for the NWA Women’s World Championship. That was a solid match which ultimately saw Deeb retain her title. Meanwhile, Diamante has been a regular on Dark and Elevation, performing well against enhancement workers, but coming up short in matches against bigger-name talent like Kris Statlander and “Legit” Leyla Hirsch. The winner of this match could end up being the next breakout star of the women’s division, so check out Dark tonight to see who comes out on top.
