As previously reported, AEW announced that the first-ever match of their Dark: Elevation show will be taped prior to their episode of Dynamite this past Wednesday and that match saw Jungle Boy face Danny Limelight in Singles action. AEW President and CEO Tony Khan then took to Twitter and noted that Riho vs. Maki Itoh will be the main event of Dark: Elevation’s premiere episode. Khan then took to Twitter and announced the show’s remaining matchups.
AEW recently announced several other matchups for Dark: Elevation’s premiere episode and the show has a total of 11 matches as well as Lee Johnson being featured as the AEW Rising Star, which looks to be a weekly segment on the show.
