Episode 9 of
AEW Dark: Elevation featured a familiar face in the mix to manage Jade Cargill, Eddie Kingston with a message for the Young Bucks, Thunder Rosa using a new finisher, and Jon Moxley staying loose with violence before his IWGP US Heavyweight Championship defense on
Dynamite.
Elevation, MJF’s lawyer is recruiting Jade Cargill. She has been cutting promos on
Dynamite explaining that managers must bring it big if they want to represent her. After Cargill’s win, Mark Sterling approached the ring requesting a moment of Cargill’s time. He wanted to offer his management services. Sterling made MJF the highest paid athlete in AEW, and he thinks he can do the same for Cargill. Sterling requested a meeting backstage. Cargill appeared to be receptive to the pitch.
Winfree’s AEW Dark: Elevation (Ep. 8) Review 5.10.21
Well everyone, it’s time for another episode of AEW Dark: Elevation. Oh, we’re nearly at a 2 hour run time this week. Joy. Well on the plus side we’ll have Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston, Tay Conti, and more in action. Per usual Tony Schiavone and Paul Wight are on commentary. Match #1: David Ali vs. Lee Johnson
The tie up, trade some holds and escapes on the mat before standing off. Back to the mat, Johnson is getting the better of these exchanges so far as they wind up in the ropes and have to break. Another trade of holds, Johnson offers a handshake but Ali is a poor sport and hits a snap mare then a kick to the spine. Johnson runs the ropes and hits a drop kick to the face. Ali sends Johnson out of the ring, Johnson back in and lands a punch but flies into a European uppercut. Ali gets to take over on offense for a bit, including a butterfly suplex. Modified landslide from Ali but that only gets 2.

David Ali vs. Lee Johnson. Both wrestlers received the televised entrance. Back and forth match throughout until late in the match. Ali went for a springboard off the ropes but was met with a superkick from Johnson. Johnson then lifted up Ali into a Blue Thunder Bomb (that looked more like a shoulder breaker) for the pinfall.
Lee Johnson beat David Ali by pinfall in 5:00.
