After Dark - AEW Dark recap for December 24, 2019

Colt Cabana guests on commentary this week.

Sammy Guevara beats Brandon Cutler.

Backstage, Jenn Decker interviews "The Bad Boy" Joey Janela, who says that it is going down tonight and that he is yelling "Timber." He tells Shawn Spears to either move or dance, for tonight is a night Spears won't remember and Janela will be the name Spears won't forget.

Proud 'n Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) beats Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy), TheHybrid2 (Angelico and Jack Evans) and Best Friends (Trent? and Chuckie T) in a four-way tag team match as Ortiz distracts the referee so that Santana can hit everyone else with a flapjack. During the match, Proud 'n Powerful pull out a ladder from underneath the ring, but put it back under the ring when they see Orange Cassidy lying on it. When TheHybrid2 pull out the same ladder, Orange Cassidy is nowhere to be seen until a short time later, when Orange Cassidy hits TheHybrid2 with a hands-in-pocket dive from the top rope as the referee is not looking.

Jenn Decker interviews PAC. When PAC shows up, he goes back briefly and brings a downed Michael Nakazawa with him before throwing Nakazawa down the ramp, then proceeds to attack him. PAC gets Nakazawa in the ring and proceeds to stomp on him before putting a steel chair around Nakazawa's neck. PAC tells Kenny Omega that he is sick and tired of being ignored and demands his rubbed match before saying that more attacks will happen. PAC leaps off the second rope, but lands over Nakazawa and tells Kenny Omega that this is his final warning.

Before the next match, Shawn Spears says that Christmas is one week away and that the next match will be the last match of 2019. He asks who is in the holiday spirit, then jokingly asks Tully Blanchard if Santa Claus delivers to Texas. Spears is about to tell a young boy in the front row that Santa Claus isn't real when Joey Janela shows up dressed as Santa Claus. Janela gives the young boy in the front row a high five, then gets in the ring for the next match, which starts with a cheap shot from Spears.

"The Bad Boy" Joey Janela beats Shawn Spears. Near the end of the match, Joey Janela finds Jesus (or at the very least, finds some guy dressed like him) and briefly brings him to ringside. After the match, Janela and Spears have a beer together, then Janela hits Spears with a Stunner before drinking both beers in the corner a la "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
