AEW Dark: Elevation 9/5/2022

I saw 5 of the 6 matches:

Julia Hart vs Alice Crowley

Hart grabs the hair early and takes double chops. Hart pulls her down backwards then standing moonsaults her for 1. Hart superkicks her and pounds on her in the corner. Hart hits another superkick and lariats her in the back of the neck. Hart then does a rings of saturn variation and wins it in a quick squash.

Josh Woods and Tony Nese vs Jordan Kross and Renny D

Nese poses early then hits a kick and legsweep combo on Kross. Nese hits a running lariat in the corner then Woods does pendulum knees in the corner. Nese drags Kross' throat over the top and Kross is german'd. Nese then topes Renny outside. Woods and Neese hit a combo olympic slam  + neckbreaker to win in another quick squash.

Nikki Victory vs Serena Deeb

Deeb misses a charge in the corner and takes some shots iwht her jacket on. Nikki top rope crossbodies her and Deeb rolls out. Nikki dropkicks her through the ropes. Back in and Nikki is dragon screwed through the ropes multiple times. Deeb spinning neckbreakers her for 2 with her jacket still on. Deeb finally takes the jacket off and boots her around. Deeb rubs her head in the mat then pulls on her mouth off the indian deathlock.

Deeb face shoves her around then short arm lariats her. Deeb sits on her shoulders and double reverse armbars her to win it.

Nikki got a surprising amount in before her eventual doom here.

Private Party vs Brandon Gore and JDX

JDX takes a shot from behind early then takes a double back elbow into a splash + legdrop. Gore hits lariats on Kassidy then takes a top rope dropkick from Quen. PP hits the silly string and Kass tornado ddt's JDX. Matt Hardy comes out then PP hits the gin n juice on Gore for the quick win.

I'm not sure what the Matt Hardy stuff is about. It wasn't a great combo and I don't know why they'd want to revisit it.

Skye Blue vs Diamante

Skye gets a chant early as they are in Chicago. Skye takes her down then Dia rolls and kips up out of a wristlock. Dia spears Skye on the apron then sliding dropkicks her off to the floor. Dia elbow drops her then puts some knees into her back. Dia back elbows her in the corner then misses a dropkick.

They trade forearms and Skye forearm flurries her. Skye spinning headscissors her then dropkicks her to the side of the head for 2. Dia germans her then holds on for another. Dia then hits a 3rd for 2. Skye superkicks her then hits some weird drop on her chest from the full nelson position to win.

This was short. It wasn't particularly special or anything and there wasn't much to it but Skye's very small trunks.

Overall thoughts: It's Elevation. It's rarely ever anything but squashes and that's all this was for the majority of it. I wouldn't recommend this one.
