After Dark - AEW Dark recap for September 14, 2021

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Jade Cargill and "Legit" Leyla Hirsch, who will be facing each other tomorrow night on Dynamite but have individual matches against separate opponents tonight. Cargill says Hirsch should be grateful she has a match against her, but Hirsch tells her that she had better be ready, as she will beat Cargill's "bitch ass" all over the ring. Cargill says she tosses Hirsch out of the Casino Battle Royal, that she is "that bitch" and that she has a nice ass, then asks Hirsch what she is going to do about it. "Smart" Mark Sterling says Hirsch is delusional and should not even mention that she is from New Jersey, but Hirsch says she knows she can beat Cargill and throw her around.

The Butcher and the Blade beat Rosario Grillo and Hunter Knott.

Anna "99" Jay beats Ashley D'Amboise with the Queenslayer. After the match, Anna Jay is attacked from behind by The Bunny, who runs away when Tay Conti runs into the ring.

2point0 (Jeff Parker and Matt Lee) beats Erik and Andrew Lockhart. After the match, 2point0 beat up the Lockharts with Daniel Garcia joining in.

Jade Cargill beats Angelica Risk. After the match, "Smart" Mark Sterling says the sound you hear when one steps on a big bug will be heard when Cargill squashes "Legit" Leyla Hirsch like a bug, and that the only thing that he feels bad about is that Hirsch is getting beaten in her New Jersey hometown. Cargill says she does not feel bad, then Mark says he does not feel bad, either. He then says Hirsch will be wrestling later tonight and aks why anyone would want to see that, especially when Hirsch cannot meet the height requirement on the nearby rides. Sterling then says he and Cargill have seen some of Hirsch's recent big losses as of late, then says Hirsch has trouble climbing mountains, calls Cagrill her Mount Everest, and says that Cargill will eliminate Hirsch like the New Jersey trash she is because she is "that bitch."

We hear from Diamante, who says she came here to win matches. We hear from Big Swole, who says she left Diamante knocked out in the middle of the ring. Diamante says Big Swole got one over on her with her chain and that she will not let slide, and that they will always have bad blood. Big Swole says her future is bright and that she is going to the top regardless of who she has to go through. Diamante says it will never be over between her and Big Swole.

Fuego del Sol beats Mysterious Movado.

Shawn Spears beats Khash. Before the match, it is noted that Shawn's spear has a reference to Darby Allin with a red target on it.

We hear from Sonny Kiss, who says that his friendship with "The Bad Boy" Joey Janela was based on the same common goal: have fun and win championships. He says it is hard to see where things went astray with Joey, but when it happened and Joey blindsided him with the superkick, he did not know how to feel. He then says he will remind everyone that Joey is "a piece of shit and a loser." We then hear from Joey Janela, who says it will be over for Sonny and not for him. Sonny Kiss says Joey's career will be over. Joey says it will be the end for Sunny and the beginning for him and his new valet.

Best Friends (Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor and Wheeler Yuta) beat Jora Johl and TheHybrid2 (Angelica Evans and Jack Evans) in a six-man tag match.

"Legit" Leyla Hirsch beats KiLynn King. After the match, Jade Cargill gets in the ring, but Leyla Hirsch puts her in a double leg takedown and starts a brawl that referees quickly into place with to stop.
