‘AEW Dark: Elevation – Episode 82’ Review
Welcome to this week’s review of AEW Dark: Elevation, the opening salvo in the AEW wrestling week. Once again we’ve got Matt Menard on commentary again this week joined by ROH’s Ian Riccaboni. So let’s see what the show has to offer!
Match #1: Kip Sabian and Penelope Ford def. Skye Blue and Shawn Dean
My Thoughts: This was OK for a mixed-gender match, although everyone seemed off balance for this one – with Sabian and Ford looking worse in this match than in their recent solo outings. An odd, odd match.
My Score: 2 out of 5
Match #2: Ortiz def. Serpentico
My Thoughts: Another decent singles outing for Serpentico, with Ortiz looking good too. For me Luther spoilt this one, between his behaviour ringside and interference it felt like it was detracting from what Serpentico was doing in-ring.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5
Final Verdict: 2.5/5
Well that was short. Really short. With most of the episode’s run time devoted to promos on mental health from Powerhouse Hobbs and Eddie Kingston.
