Kip Sabian defeats QT Marshall

AEW Dark Premier January 28:

Aubrey Edwards called for the bell about five times before it rang. The match started with a collar and elbow tie up and Sabian connected with a dropkick and Marshall connected with a handspring off the ropes followed by an enziguri to Sabian. With Marshall sitting on the top rope, Ford got involved and allowed Kip to get an advantage focusing on the arm. Sabian turned his attention to a fan and then attempted to a spring board cross body, but Marshall caught him and slammed him the canvas.

Marshall going back to the top rope, he attempted a senton but missed and Kip Sabian locked in a submission. Marshall made it to the ropes for the break. Sabian rolled up Marshall using the ropes for leverage and picked up the cheap victory.
