After Dark - AEW Dark recap for January 18, 2022

Adam Cole beats Kaun. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Cole, who takes the microphone and tells Schiavone to get out of the ring. He says Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. is the greatest Women's World Champion in AEW history and that he is undefeated in competition as well as the best new signing any company has ever seen. He says that together, they are unstoppable, and as hard as a Kris Statlander or Orange Cassidy could try to be top players, they will be nothing more than laughingstocks and should be embarassed for themselves, then says that they will embarrass them because he and Britt Baker are just getting started and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
