AEW Dark: Elevation spoilers from Las Vegas
In a rarity, AEW taped just two matches for this Monday’s Dark: Elevation prior to Wednesday’s Dynamite in Las Vegas, Nevada.
According to reports from fans, they played the Double or Nothing Countdown show inside the arena instead of more action.
Given Friday’s live Rampage, it’s likely they will tape more action for Elevation, in addition to Tuesday’s Dark, before and after Rampage.
In one of the matches, Konosuke Takeshita rebounded from his loss to AEW World Champion Hangman Page last week with a victory over Ryan Nemeth of The Wingmen.
Takeshita recently returned to both the U.S. and AEW and drew praise for the Page match.
In the other, Ring of Honor Women’s Champion Mercedes Martinez defeated Dark regular Mazzerati by submission. Martinez recently unified the title by defeating Deonna Purrazzo in a title vs. title match on Dynamite.
Wednesday’s action was set at the Michelob Ultra Arena in Las Vegas, the site of Friday’s show as well. Sunday’s pay-per-view will transition to the T-Mobile Arena
