Enter the devastating duo of The Butcher and Blade, which has been one of the stand-out tandems in AEW. On this week&#8217;s edition of AEW DARK, they will take on the team of Calvin Stewart and Puf, the latter of whom has been working independently on the East Coast. If Stewart and Puf can upset The Butcher and The Blade, it could mean big things for their respective careers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/UgD4uDh.jpg\" alt=\"AEW DARK Billy Austin Gunn M'Badu Cruz\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Billy and Austin Gunn vs. M&#8217;Badu and Cruz<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This father and son tandem has been a fan favorite in AEW as of late. Billy&#8217;s endeavors over the years speak for themselves, but now he finds himself in something of a mentor role. His son, Austin, has been learning from his father and exhibiting natural charisma in his own right. On this week&#8217;s episode of AEW DARK, they find themselves up against the duo of Cruz and M&#8217;Badu. This will be another match where the latter team could benefit from a victory over the more established tandem.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/h1Cdq4u.jpg\" alt=\"Kevin Blackwood Daniel Garcia Joey Janela Sonny Kiss\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Kevin Blackwood and Daniel Garcia vs. <\/strong><strong>Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss vs. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Recently, Joey Janela and Sonny Kiss have been proving themselves as a formidable duo. They also referred to themselves as the \u201cMidnight Express,\u201d as something of a job toward a certain old-school wrestling personality. However, it won&#8217;t be fun and games on this show, as they take on Daniel Garcia and Kevin Blackwood. The latter team appeared on the previous episode of DARK, where they fell to The Butcher and The Blade. Can they right a wrong with a win over Janela and Kiss?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/qPn43O8.jpg\" alt=\"Evil Uno Stu Grayson Rembrandt Lewis Fuego Del Sol\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) vs. <\/strong><strong>Rembrandt Lewis and <\/strong><strong>Fuego Del Sol<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When they aren&#8217;t avoiding the wrath of <strong>Mr. Brodie Lee<\/strong>, The Dark Order&#8217;s Evil Uno and Stu Grayson are among the most dominant teams in AEW. This episode of DARK may prove no different, as they challenge Fuego Del Sol and Rembrandt Lewis. Fuego Del Sol has been a somewhat regular competitor on DARK, though he has yet to pick up a victory on this program. Can he, along with Lewis, emerge victorious at the expense of The Dark Order?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/DsTRc76.jpg\" alt=\"Will Hobbs Serpentico AEW DARK\" width=\"600\" height=\"346\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Will Hobbs vs. Serpentico<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of AEW DARK regulars, enter Serpentico. The masked star recently found a teammate in deathmatch wrestler <strong>Luther<\/strong>, but on this episode, he will take on a newfound challenge. Will Hobbs is among the most recent AEW signees and to say that he has momentum behind him would be an understatement. He even befriended <strong>Jon Moxley<\/strong>, the current AEW World Champion. Before Hobbs goes to war with Moxley and <strong>Darby Allin<\/strong>, he will have to overcome Serpentico.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/OPiHsb2.jpg\" alt=\"Lee Johnson Ben Carter\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Lee Johnson vs. Ben Carter<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>From Indiana, Lee Johnson has become a prominent competitor on AEW DARK. Though he has yet to pick up a victory on the program, he&#8217;s been a formidable opponent against the likes of <strong>Rey Fenix<\/strong>, <strong>Scorpio Sky<\/strong>, and <strong>Colt Cabana<\/strong>. On this week&#8217;s episode, he will challenge Ben Carter, the British star with unbridled confidence. It&#8217;s also worth noting that Carter will be challenging Sky on this week&#8217;s <strong>Late Night Dynamite<\/strong>, so it&#8217;s safe to say the former has his hands full.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76522 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/09\/aew-dark-9-22-20-0.jpg\" alt=\"AEW DARK Serena Deeb KiLynn King\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/09\/aew-dark-9-22-20-0.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2020\/09\/aew-dark-9-22-20-0-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>KiLynn King vs. <\/strong><strong>Serena Deeb<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Recently, Serena Deeb was announced as one of the newest signees to AEW. She brings skill and experience alike, both of which will prove advantageous on this week&#8217;s DARK. She will challenge KiLynn King, who has appeared on multiple episodes of the show, challenging the likes of <strong>Abandon<\/strong> and former AEW Women&#8217;s World Champion <strong>Nyla Rose<\/strong>. Can King overcome the more experienced Deeb? This will be one AEW women&#8217;s showcase not to miss.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/qzXPOoM.jpg\" alt=\"AEW DARK Eddie Kingston Brian Pillman Jr.\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Eddie Kingston vs. Brian Pillman Jr.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Outspoken and hard-hitting, Eddie Kingston has proven that he can talk a big name and back it up. In fact, this has been the story of his career. This week, he will have to fight solo as he challenges the up-and-coming Brian Pillman Jr. This second-generation star boasts plenty of promise, but will it be this lesser experience compared to Kingston that proves to be his downfall in this match? Keep an eye on this match, as grit and aerial offense come to a head.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/9WTRtwF.jpg\" alt=\"The Lucha Bros.

Add in the support of Eddie Kingston and they are that much more dangerous. Needless to say, they will be a sizable challenge for the team of Dontae Smiley and Maxx Stardom. Smiley and Stardom appeared on the previous episode of AEW DARK, losing to <strong>Best Friends<\/strong>. On this week&#8217;s episode, they aim to shift the momentum in their favor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/fghwHZs.jpg\" alt=\"Ryzin Xander Gold The Dark Order 5 10 AEW DARK\" width=\"600\" height=\"318\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Ryzin and Xander Gold vs. T<\/strong><strong>he Dark Order (Five and Ten)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Formerly known as <strong>Alan Angels<\/strong> and <strong>Preston Vance<\/strong>, respectively, Five and Ten of The Dark Order are among the group&#8217;s henchmen. Make no mistake, however; they are nothing short of formidable in tag team action. This is a fact that should be recognized by their opponents on this week&#8217;s AEW DARK. It&#8217;s important to note that Ryzin has appeared on DARK in the past, primarily in tag team action. Will this experience lead him and Gold to a victory over Five and Ten?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/J32B9Y7.jpg\" alt=\"Ricky Starks Christopher Daniels\" width=\"600\" height=\"336\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Ricky Starks vs. Christopher Daniels<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To say that Christopher Daniels is seasoned would be an understatement. He&#8217;s been successful in singles and tag team wrestling alike, amassing gold along the way. However, as the members of <strong>SCU<\/strong> branch off in their own directions, Daniels will do the same. On this week&#8217;s AEW DARK, he challenges Ricky Starks, who has been supported by <strong>Taz<\/strong> and FTW Champion <strong>Brian Cage<\/strong>. A victory over \u201cThe Fallen Angel\u201d would do wonders for \u201cStroke Daddy.\u201d This will be yet another match not to miss.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
