After Dark - AEW Dark recap for August 23, 2022

The Renegade Twins (Robyn and Charlette Renegade) beat Rocky Radley and Allie Recks.

Anthony Ogogo beats Meto by knockout.

The Wingmen ("Pretty" Peter Avalon and "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth) beat The Skulk (Adrian Alanis and Liam Gray). After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews, Avalon, Nemeth and Cezar Bononi. Avalon says they are the best-looking men in the company and that they are on the board. Nemeth says they are the kings of Dark, and Bononi says they will make AEW pretty.

Blake Christian beats Lucky Ali. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Blake Christian, who says that he wanted to be on the big screen and that he is there. He thanks the fans for their support and says that he has been on a winning streak lately, and says that he is back on track and looking for success.

Jora Johl beats Vary Morales.

"Platinum" Max Caster beats Justin Cotto.

Dante Martin and Matt Sydal beat The Factory (Aaron Solo and Nick Comoroto).

Daniel Garcia beats Westin Blake (formerly known as Wesley Blake in WWE) with the Dragon Sleeper.

The Trust Busters (Ari Daivari, Slim J and Parker Boudraux) beat Ryan Howe, Omar Amir and Cash Flo in a trios match. Before the match, The Trust Busters are accompanied by a butler named JVSK (pronounced JEEVES-K), who is played by independent wrestler VSK. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews The Trust Busters, and Daivari introduces JVSK as his butler, then says he told everyone that he would spare no expense and that they should get used to their faces for a very long time after main eventing Rampage twice.

The Dark Order (John Silver, Alex Reynolds and Preston "10" Vance) beat Tyshaun Perez, DK Vandu and Joey Sweets in a trios match. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews The Dark Order. Silver is disappointed that nobody thinks they can get past the first round, and while they are underdogs and have been in AEW since the beginning, they will beat some "spooky pervert ass" in the Trios Title Tournament. Reynolds says no other trio has a stronger bond than us, and that they have perserved and that it is their time to make history as the first-ever AEW Trios Tag Team Champions.

"The Premier Athlete" Tony Nese and "The Technical Beast" Josh Woods beat GKM and Oliver Sawyer. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews "Smart" Mark Sterling, Nese and Woods. Sterling says Jon Moxley not only attacked them from behind and injured his neck, but stole money from their pockets. He says they are planning on stealing money from him and that they exploring a lawsuit with The Blackpool Combat Club (William Regal, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta), as Moxley is a jerk and Wheeler Yuta stole the ROH Pure Championship from Josh Woods. He says The Blackpool Combat Club is running around acting like they can do and bleed on whatever they want, and that there are some sanitation workers across the country who are overworked cleaning blood off every surface. He also says most of the people from The Blackpool Combat Club are not from Blackpool, England. Sterling then says that not only does Bryan Danielson have a lot of money, but his wife has more. He then tells The Blackpool Combat Club to watch their e-mail as much as they are watching Moxley's match with CM Punk, as they are getting served.

Before the next match, J.T. Davidson re-introduces Bear Country (Bear Bronson and Bear Boulder) as The Iron Savages. (Bronson and Boulder now have the "Bear" prefix removed from their names.)

The Iron Savages (Bronson and Boulder) and managed by - beat Sean Maluta and Manny Lo. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews J.T. Davidson, who says everything on the planet requires change and proclaims himself to be "The Iron Manager" and the meanest, the best and the man who will put a mark on AEW. He says it is not about being lucky, as he does not believe in luck, and that The Iron Savages will be taking over. Bronson says that they have never needed validation from the fans or anyone in the company to know that they have been All Elite since they first stepped foot in AEW, and he dares anyone who is frustrated with their spot while taking food off their table to tell them different, as he will be ready to eat them alive. J.T. Davidson then says that everyone in the back is now on notice.

The Workhorsemen (JD Drake and Anthony Henry) beat Rosario Grillo and Dean Alexander.

KiLynn King beats Mafiosa. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews KiLynn King, who says that it is great to be back in AEW. She says that when the pandemic started, she was one of the fortunate ones to get into AEW, and she busted her butt to stay in AEW once she got her foot in the door. After a year, she realized that there was not a spot for her at the moment, so she got back onto the indies to make sure everyone was talking about her, and a few months later, she was back and she was going toe-to-toe against Toni Storm on Dynamite. Tomorrow night, she returns to Dynamite in her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio to face "Shittsberg's own" Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. Britt Baker shows up and tells KiLynn to stop boring the fans about Cleveland and that she does not stands a chance against her. She says that she did not come out tonight, but KiLynn's sob story made her sick to her stomach. Britt also says that she is not impressed about KiLynn going back into the indies and getting a pat on the back for what everyone else is doing while she has been building the AEW women's division from the ground up and building an empire. Britt says she is the face of the women's division, and as much as she would like to end things right here, right now, she "[doesn't] do Dark." KiLynn calls Britt out for not giving the fans what they want, and also proposes that she busts her open right now and puts her bloody face on another T-Shirt. Britt responds by saying they could film a drop of her blood on the mat for fifteen minutes straight and it would be worth more than anything KiLynn would ever do. Britt piefaces KiLynn, and KiLynn takes Britt down and punches her before throwing her into a barricade on the outside. Referees have to run in and restore order.
