Welcome back to another review of Aew Dark: Elevation, which features a sub-1 hour show this week, with only 8 matches on the card, which pleases me a Lot! We’ve got Paul Wight and Matt Menard on commentary, so let’s get into the review.
Match #1: Emi Sakura, Marina Shafir and Nyla Rose def. Johnnie Robbie, Vipress and Zyra
My Thoughts: This match saw a return to the Shafir/Rose/Vickie squabbles that we’ve seen previously – they’re obviously building to the split between the trio but at the same time I’ve enjoyed the teaming of Nyla Rose’s intensity with Vickie Guerrero’s brash attitude and I’ll miss it when the split does happen. As for this match? It felt more like an angle than a match but still, an Aew quasi-squash is still an Aew quasi-squash!
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: Daniel Garcia def.

Another episode of Aew: Dark and another short(er) show post-Double or Nothing. We get six matches this week, running Shorter than last week’s four-match show… I guess we’re in for some squash matches? Let’s join Taz and Excalibur, commentators for Dark as usual, and see.
Match #1: Lance Archer vs. Aaron Solo
My Thoughts: What’s this? Solo doesn’t get thrown into the ring by Archer like most of his opponents And he manages to almost pin Archer too! Solo sold a “fear” of Archer well, trying his best to get the match over with as soon as possible. Of course that wasn’t going to work and Archer took control and got the win.
My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #2: Christopher Daniels def. Steve Andrews
My Thoughts: Daniels gave Steve Andrews far too much room to get in his offence in this match. Far too much.
