QT Marshall (w/ The Factory) vs. Robo on AEW Dark: Elevation

The match kicked off with a 'You tapped out' chant at QT Marshall. The Factory leader shrugged off the chants with a smirk and took Robo down with a side headlock takedown.

The crowd was firmly against Marshall, and they cheered every strike from Punjab's very own Robo.

The Indian wrestler laid out QT with a quick dropkick. Marshall, however, showed great in-ring awareness to slam Robo face-first into the middle turnbuckle.

QT followed it with a running back elbow in the middle of the ring for a two-count. Marshall's movements and offensive output were measured and methodical, as Robo found it tough to get to a vertical base.

The Punjabi wrestler finally got back up and fired a big punch. His attempted comeback was shut down by a dropkick and a leaping knee drop for another two-count for the leader of The Factory.

Marshall basked in the heat he received and continued to punish Robo, who finally shifted gears and dropped QT with a massive clothesline followed by a running double axe handle.

Robo hit an atomic drop and a German suplex, and then wasted some time with his kick in the corner as QT got his boot up. Robo still had enough in the gas tank to deliver a power slam for a near fall.

QT weathered the storm and executed a backbreaker-flatliner combo. Marshall signaled for the end and hit the Diamond Cutter for the win.

Both men loosened up by circling the ring before locking up in the AEW Dark: Elevation match. Sydal took Penta down with an arm drag, and he did the namaste gesture to top it off nicely.

Penta kicked Sydal in the breadbasket, but Mike Sydal used his quickness and flexibility to get in a dropkick. Sydal executed a Tiaras, but Penta was a demanding customer as he came right back with a clubbing blow to the back.

Penta seemed to have been having a good time dishing out punishment on the Yoga Monster. Sydal executed the Matrix body-bend before hitting a dropkick and a tope suicida.

Sydal rolled Penta back into the ring before going to the top for the double axe handle. Penta got his foot up but still got caught in a sit-out powerbomb. The Luchador kicked out at two.

The usual collar and elbow tie-up got the featured AEW Dark: Elevation match underway. Scorpio Sky mocked Alan Angels in the early stages of the bout, but the Dark Order member was having none of the disrespect.

5 gave Sky a receipt for the disrespect by nonchalantly walking over Sky after a takedown. Angels executed a side Russian leg sweep for a two-count.

Sky smartly rolled out of the ring to buy himself some time to recuperate. Sky executed a classic bait-and-switch to kick Angels flush in the nose. Sky did what Paul Wight called the 'eyebrow peeler.' It looked as painful as it sounds!

Hardy vs. Del Sol.

Matt Hardy used his size advantage in the match to get wrist control on Fuego Del Sol. Alabama's premier Luchador hit a proper Alabama dropkick to turn up the heat in the match.

Fuego Del Sol, however, got a little overzealous as he lost control of the match. Hardy wore him down with an effective hammerlock and got a two-count with a sit-out side slam.

Matt had Del Sol in a sleeper hold, but it got countered with a chin buster. Fuego responded with several punches and a springboard moonsault. Hardy stopped Del Sol from going up to the top, and he picked him up into a sit-out powerbomb. Del Sol escaped once again with a valiant kickout.

Royce Isaacs vs. Ren Narita (AEW Debut) on AEW Dark Elevation

Isaacs vs. Narita.

Ren Narita was one of two NJPW talents making their AEW debuts tonight. The 23-year-old Japanese star faced Royce Isaacs, who has previously appeared on Dark. Royce came out to his entrance theme for the first time in AEW, and we must say it was a banger!

The match had a tentative start as both men engaged in an old-school mat exchange. Narita was calm and composed despite being on the losing end of the mini battles early during the contest.

Ren hit a running elbow strike in the corner, followed by a rolling DDT for the first pinfall attempt of the match. Isaacs used the ring to his advantage to strike Narita in the face with the ropes.

Isaacs knew how to use his elbows as he consistently punished Narita with various shots. Narita responded with a series of stiff forearm shimmers. Isaacs reacted with a pick-up side suplex on Narita for a two-count.

Isaacs caught Narita's legs and locked in the Scorpion Death Lock. Ren, though, crawled his way to the ropes and broke the hold. Both men went on to engage in a trade-off featuring punches.

Narita came out on top and laid out Isaacs with a spin kick. Narita staggered Isaacs with forearm shimmers, but Royce hit two headbutts before scoring a takedown in retaliation.

Narita fought out of the Full Nelson position, and he got in a standing chin lock before transitioning to the abdominal stretch.

Isaacs escaped, but couldn't evade a bridged overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Royce's kickout didn't go down well with Narita, who executed another overhead belly-to-belly suplex to complete the pinfall victory on AEW Dark: Elevation.

AEW Dark: Elevation Main Event #4 - Rocky Romero (AEW Debut) vs. JD Drake (w/ The Wingmen) on AEW Dark: Elevation

Rocky Romero received a solid reception on his AEW debut. The 8-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion is a name known internationally, and the commentators did their best to hype his debut.

Romero changed levels and quickly took Drake's head for a lockup. JD responded with a firm shoulder block. Romero didn't back down as he got right into Drake's face.

Romero flew through with a shoulder tackle, followed by a crossface. JD Drake missed a clothesline and got taken down with a hurricanerana.

Rocky came steaming in for the running clotheslines in the corner. Drake got his elbows up to stop the incoming strike, and he then sent Romero into the ropes. Rocky wrapped himself up between them and laughed as he outsmarted JD.

A fuming Drake followed him and hit the floor hard. Romero executed a tope suicida and paid tribute to Eddie Guerrero with a classic Latino Heat swivel. Viva La Raza!

The action stayed outside as Romero kept his distance and used aerial moves to inflict damage. JD got back into the match by bouncing Romero off the ropes and dropping him down with an unforgiving right-hand shot.

Drake began to gather momentum in the contest with a loud chop. Drake rolled his opponent back into the ring and got a two-count from a swinging neckbreaker.

Romero broke out of the front chancery and yanked on Drake's elbow. Romero was sent crashing outside, and Ryan Nemeth used his trophy to attack the NJPW star.

Drake had the referee's attention while The Wingmen wreaked havoc at ringside. JD bullied Romero in the ring, but the comeback wasn't too far away.

Drake executed an STO-headbutt combo for another two-count. Romero moved out of a corner strike, but he ran in with reckless abandon and was put down by Drake with a slam.

JD missed the Vader Bomb and got hit with a clutch Tornado DDT. Romero got to his feet and hit a combination of punches and chops.

Romero then worked on Drake's left arm with kicks and shoulder thrusts. Drake couldn't suplex Romero as he felt some discomfort in the arm due to Romero's repeated attacks. Wrestling psychology 101!

Drake used his right hand to send Romero crashing to the mat inside-out with a huge lariat. Rocky got his shoulders up at two-and-a-half as the crowd chanted for his name.

Rocky went up to the top and executed a hurricanerana. He then kicked the shoulders and trapped Drake in between the ropes.
