Some extremely strong jobbers on this episode of AEW Dark.

I also liked how delighted Leva was that Peter Avalon actually held the ropes open for her in the opening match.

do we know whether the dark wrestlers are local jobber level one-and-dones or are they actually joining with the company

It looks like both of them from tonight's episode were local Colorado wrestlers. Although Kenny Omega praised Abadon on Twitter last week after a fan @'d him in a tweet asking AEW to sign her so maybe they'll take notice of the positive reaction to her.

Luther is still incongruous in AEW, like I'm genuinely not sure what he's doing here.

He's friends with Chris Jericho, who got him a job.

I love me some Butcher and Blade but their finishing move sucks, the double knees never hit right.

Are there likely to be any matches where the winner isn't 100% obvious?

Not this week but they did have a match between two unsigned women two weeks ago, Christi Jaynes vs Kilynn King. Otherwise it’s usually main roster vs jobber.

Also they've spoken about the jobber matches giving paydays to local wrestlers that otherwise wouldn't be able to work right now.

they keep talking about Luther so i'm expecting him to do a run in and then Mel & Luther become bizarro superbad

Luther is already scheduled to be in action later on the show and there's only so much tongue wagging and head pointing that they can fit into it

Leva Bates is the perfect AEW success story - manager as she is someone who cant work so they instead put her in a role she could do and she excelled in it rather than "lets keep trying to get her to work and get better after 10 years in the business"

I like her "heel manager that's extremely reluctant to be a heel" thing too.

I remember Allie being kind of poo poo when AEW first started but she seems better in these tag matches, maybe an aggressive heel style suits her better?

It's Dark and doesn't really matter but they did Hobbs a disservice by jobbing him out in a few seconds last week. Like they could have put somebody else in there for that
