Just watching it now and seeing Diamante wearing her LAX gear makes me really, really want to see Santana and Ortiz ditch the Inner Circle and reunite LAX.

It would be awesome to see Sammy being torn between the two groups if they went this route.

My wife thinks Big Swole isn't jacked enough to be Big Swole. She does think that Big Swole is a badass, just a misleading name.


I am not liking these shorter Dark episodes. They need to toss in another match..

They taped 4-5 matches at the last Dynamite, I’m betting the others are being held for next week so they didn’t have to tape Dark on the cruise. Bet it goes back to normal the week after.

I think this was Swole's best match in AEW. Diamante seems great even if her mean mugging sometimes borders on silly.

Agreed, this gave Swole a chance to act dominant, which is part of what she had been missing. When you come out with the name Big Swole and you have a moving backstory and a talent for selling, there's a touch of incongruity.

I never saw that version of LAX together but just from her attitude and personality coming through in this match, I can't imagine how off the wall bonkers that trio would be together. It feels like that kind of crazy, unpredictable energy that would make them instant superstars.

First female member of the Inner Circle?

Sammy tries to hit on her and she bodies him into a trash can.

This would loving rule. Even from just seeing her this one time, it's clear she has a real aura about her and she carries herself differently from anyone else on the roster. Being the real bruiser of the Inner Circle would be amazing, especially for any and all interactions where she intimidates Hager because she's scarier and more dangerous than he is.

Diamante was cool even if she looked gassed af near the end of the match, but not sure if that was on purpose to sell how rocked she got. Those kicks near the end looked really slow but other than that she has a really cool look.

Some of them looked awful and then there were two good ones in a row that brought me back.

Apparently she was in a match at the WrestleCon Mark Hitchcock Memorial Show last year where she teamed with Santana, Ortiz, and Sammy against DJ Z, Puma King, Samantha Heights & Tajiri . Which if nothing else is a wild as hell combo for an 8 man.

Diamante seemed pretty green when she was in Impact and I don't think she's got a ton of experience under her belt. But she clearly had enough ability to hang with Swole (and Swole is good but not like someone who strikes me as carrying people good) and she's just really a fun character who obviously fits Santana & Ortiz so well. Which is of course because they all three adopted the characters under Konnan and LAX together.

Go hire Kingston to lead them and watch magic happen.

Shanna getting a pop for setting the table up right :3:

(edit): Nyla feels like she’s come a long way from where she was just a few months ago. Don’t know if it’s just her getting more comfortable or the way they are agenting the dark matches or coaches working with her but she seems a lot more self-assured in the ring.

I really like Sonny Kiss but this match was a pretty good indication that he's still green and need a bit more in-ring seasoning (which, to be fair, is what Dark should be used for).

Yeah, the moment where he got the split leg drop, and then started acting hurt and desperate for the tag was one of those "you don't know it's there until it's gone" moments wrt wrestling psychology.
