After Dark - AEW Dark recap for August 3, 2021

"Absolute" Ricky Starks guests on commentary for the next match.

Best Friends (Chuck Taylor, Wheeler Yuta, Orange Cassidy) beat The Wingmen ("The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth, JD Drake, Cezar Bononi) with a La Magistral Cradle from Wheeler Yuta to JD Drake. After the match, "Pretty" Peter Avalon grabs Wheeler Yuta, but gets an Orange Punch and an Awful Waffle for his efforts.

We hear from Jack Evans, who says that PAC follows him wherever he goes, and that he will end it for good by giving him such a beating that he will probably return home to Newcastle, England in a body bag.

"The Bastard" PAC beats Jack Evans with the Brutalizer. After the match, Andrade el Idolo shows up with Chavo Guerrero Jr. Both men head to the ring, but when Andrade is about to enter the ring, Chavo tells him not to, and both men step away.

We hear from Red Velvet, who says she has been on the hottest run of her career as of late and she is just gettin started. She says that she has tunnel vision since re-entering the Top 5, and all she sees at the end is the AEW Women's World Championship around her waist. She tells Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. - who has called herself "special order" - that nobody knows "special order" better than "the chef herself," and she hopes Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. is ready, as she will be seeing her real, real soon.

"Absolute" Ricky Starks guests on commentary for the next match.

Tay Conti beats Kenzi Paige.

Jake Hager guests on commentary for the next match.

The Pinnacle (Shawn Spears and Wardlow) beat "The Captain" Shawn Dean and Fuego del Sol.

Hikaru Shida beats Madi Maxx.

The Lucha Brothers (Penta el Zero M and Rey Fenix) beat Chaos Project (Luther and Serpentico).

The Hardy Family Office (Matt Hardy and The Blade) and The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) beat The Varsity Blonds (Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman) and The Sydal Brothers (Matt and Mike Sydal) after The Bunny distracts the referee so that The Blade can knock Mike Sydal out with brass knuckles. (After the show airs, it has to be re-uploaded without The Acclaimed's entrance, much less anyone else's, due to the lines "make you claim mental health like Simone Biles" and "I'm gonna treat these bitches like Duke lacrosse" - references to Simone Biles pulling out of the Tokyo Olympcs and the 2006 Duke University men's lacrosse team rape scandal - as well as a "Julie [Hart]'s vagina" lyric being censored by Anthony Bowen in Max Caster's entrance rap causing a furor with fans even after footage of the entrance - which is constantly being taken down on social media via DMCA takedown notices - is posted on social media by fans who recorded it at the venue before Dark aired. This causes Tony Khan to condemn the lyrics in this entrance and take over editing duties for Dark from this point forward.) After the match, Matt Hardy, The Blade and The Bunny attack Mike Sydal until Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy, Marko Stunt, Luchasaurus) chase them out of the ring. The Varsity Blonds and The Acclaimed then brawl in the ring, with The Varsity Blonds coming out on top.

Legit" Leyla Hirsch beats Diamante with the cross arm breaker. During the match, The Bunny runs to the ring with a chair, places it in the ring and distracts Leyla Hirsch. As Hirsch is distracted, Diamante goes for the chair, but Big Swole keeps her from taking it. Leyla Hirsch soon locks in the cross arm breaker for the win. After the match, Big Swole gets in the ring and beats Diamante up, then both women brawl on the ramp.

Jon Moxley beats Brick Aldridge with a sleeper.

Penelope Ford beats Reka Tehaka by submission.

Jade Cargill and "Smart" Mark Sterling show up. Sterling addresses the submissions for the Jade Brand sent in by fans, and Cargill and Sterling state that they are all horrible, with Cargill stating that nobody could come up with one decent idea. She says that she is "the crossover" and that people stop flipping channels when they see her. Sterling then announces that the Jade Brand is part of the Nocking Point Winery and that he is studying to be a sommelier before stating that the characteristics of Charlotte, North Carolina are a hint of burnt rubber, wafting scents of body odor and a pitch of human feces. Sterling then puts Jade Cargill on a pedestal and says that the fans cannot wait to see what is next.

Eddie Kingston beats Dante Martin. Before the match, Darius Martin returns for the first time in months to accompany Dante to the ring.
