Ford reversed the hammer throw. However, she ran into a back elbow and ate a big missile dropkick off the second rope.

Ford evaded a corner attack and came right back with a big boot, followed by a back handspring elbow strike. Penelope trapped Angelica in the Muta lock for the submission win.

A 'QT sucks' chant echoed around the arena as Marshall took his time to engage with Toa Liona. Both men finally got into the collar and elbow tie-up, and Liona unsurprisingly overpowered QT.

Toa popped the crowd with a massive Samoan Drop. He then looked for the finishing blow, but QT sneaked out of the ring. Marshall absorbed a headbutt as the action spilled over to the ringside area.

QT worked his way back into the match by sending Liona into the steel ring post. Marshall connected with a missile dropkick from the top rope back in the ring. He also dictated the flow of the match and punished Liona with a variety of punches and elbow strikes.

Liona began his comeback with a monstrous body block. He channeled his inner Hulk Hogan and no-sold a few punches before responding with a hell-stab strike. Toa then sent QT across the ring with an overhead throw.

QT avoided the splash in the corner but missed his version of the maneuver only to get laid out with a running tackle. Toward the end, he swiftly countered Liona's finisher with the Cutter and picked up the final pin in the AEW match.

Result: QT Marshall def. Toa Liona on AEW Dark

Grade: B

The menacing @ToaLiona imposed his size and strength against @QTMarshall in their match at #AEWDark, but QT was able to leverage his experience and ring savvy to score another win for #TheFactory!

Kidd Bandit was fired up during the match's opening stages, but 2point0 showcased some classic tag team wrestling to take control.

Ish also got beat up as the heels made quick tags and even hit a double Russian leg sweep. Kidd Bandit tried to use his speed to get back in the match but was dropped down with a German Suplex. Parker and Lee hit their 'Two for the Show' finisher for the win.

The debuting team of @kiddbanditpro and @IshmaelVaughn were fired up and ready to unleash at #AEWDark, but #2Point0 (@MattTheShow/@JeffTheShow) had other ideas, as they made quick work of their opponents and snatched another W!
