During a back-and-forth with Jim Cornette, Matt Hardy used some recent TV ratings as evidence that people are very much tuning into AEW. Cornette has not been shy about his dislike for AEW’s product, often criticizing the promotion on his podcast and through social media.

Winfree’s AEW Dark: Elevation (Ep. 8) Review 5.03.21
Hey there people, another Monday so here’s another episode of AEW Dark: Elevation. We’re still clocking in at under 2 hours, though cramming 14 matches into 100 minutes seems like an odd choice. But who knows how it will turn out. We’ve got Jon Moxley, Miro, and Orange Cassidy among some other recognizable names performing tonight so let’s get to the action. Match #1: Miro vs. Will Allday
This will not be pretty. Miro easily overpowers Allday then clubs him down. There’s a brief flurry from Allday but Miro shuts that down with a belly to belly suplex. More Miro offense, he’s just playing with his food now while yelling at the crowd to send him champions. Allday eventually avoids a corner rush and sends Miro over the top rope. Suicide dive from Allday, they botched Miro catching him so they repeat the spot and then Allday sends Miro into the post. Back in the ring Allday jumps into a thrust kic
