AEW Dark: Elevation featured QT Marshall sucker punching Billy Gunn and Kenny Omega gifting us with his greatness in the trios main event.
When a god of professional wrestling graces
Dark: Elevation with his presence, it is time to pay attention. Omega teamed with MT Nakazawa and Konosuke Takeshita to battle Matt Sydal, Mike Sydal, & Danny Limelight. Omega’s squad worked a grounded attack with quick tags, while the Sydal brothers and Limelight added flashy flying assaults. Kenny’s crew took control by running a train on Limelight.
SCU (Christopher Daniels & Frankie Kazarian) defeated Jay Lyon & Midas Black (3:21)
Lyon and Black made their debut on Monday. Honestly, no one should be working both these shows in the same week.
Kazarian destroyed Black with some chops in the corner and you could hear Lyon shout “Hey! That’s my friend!” which made me chuckle. It was the usual SCU formula of Kazarian dominating and Daniels getting the tag and losing the advantage. Lyon hit a somersault senton on Daniels through a hoop held by Black. (Note they have a lion tamer/circus gimmick.) SCU came back and finished Lyons with the Best Meltzer Ever to keep their winning streak alive.
Hey everyone! It’s Tuesday. You know what that means.

Let’s jump into this week’s episode of AEW Dark.
SCU (8-0) vs. Jay Lyon & Midas Black (0-1)
Excalibur and Taz already got me cracking up and the first match hasn’t even started yet. This is what makes AEW Dark enjoyable whether there are 10 matches, 15 matches, or 115 matches. Just kidding, AEW. Please don’t do 115 matches. As I mention often, putting ANYONE in the ring with Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian is going to help them improve their skills. Lyon and Black got that opportunity here, and even if it was a pretty one-sided match, it’s a tape those two can study to learn from two of the best in the business. Taz absolutely lost his mind at Lyon and Black using the hula hoop circus routine, which is no surprise. Daniels and Kazarian hit the Best Meltzer Driver Ever for the easy win at 3:27
