John Silver enjoyed early momentum in the match and utilized his speed to deliver a series of high-impact moves.

The heels worked in tandem, and Khash took control with a hair-pull on Reynolds. Daivari followed through with a frog splash for a two-count. Khash brought out the abdominal stretch and got his partner's assistance from the ringside area. Interestingly enough, referee Paul Turner kicked Daivari's hand away to end the illegal move. The spot got a loud pop from the fans, and so did the referee for his quick thinking.

As the match continued, Alex Reynolds finally made the hot tag to Silver after creating some space. Johnny Hungy executed a back-body drop and got a two-count with a powerbomb.

Khash and Daivari got in a few kicks before Invictus earned a near fall with a shoulder back-to-belly piledriver. Reynolds rushed in to break the count and lifted Daivari for an uppercut from Silver.

The Dark Order members then executed an epic combination of moves to end the match. The sequence started with a high commonguri, followed by an elbow strike, step-up enziguri, stunner, suplex, and the final roll-up pinfall!

Result: Dark Order's John Silver & Alex Reynolds def. Ariya Daivari & Invictus Khash

While Pat Brink had his moments, The Factory members eventually got involved in the match and provided the upper hand to their leader QT Marshall.

QT dominated the bout with some classic offense, including a dropkick and a top-rope rolling elbow strike. Brink managed to take Marshall down with a shoulder block and almost pulled off an upset with a beautiful powerslam.

Marshall missed multiple shots but reversed the suplex and hit a step-up enziguri and a superkick. Pat Brink blocked the Diamond Cutter and planted him into the mat for a near fall.

QT, however, countered a powerslam with the Diamond Cutter to score a three-count.

Result: QT Marshall def. Pat Brink on AEW Dark

Grade: B+

A great match between two veterans of the sport, @QTMarshall and @Patrick100Brink here at #AEWDark, but QT's smart reversal of Brink's offense into the Diamond Cutter gave him the edge to take the win!
