Anthony Bowens and Alex Reynolds had a furious start to the AEW match as the Dark Order member delivered a few leg kicks.

Max Caster came in and ate a few shots from Alan Angels. The Dark Order took out The Acclaimed with a double tope suicida.

The Acclaimed took control of the match after Bowens dropped Reynolds face-first on the apron. Caster followed it with a baseball slide and back body suplex. Caster and Bowens exchanged tags to keep Reynolds grounded.

Reynolds was in a lot of trouble as Bowens executed a brainbuster. Alex finally created some separation by fighting out of the corner. He finally rolled through to tag Angels.

5 used his speed and fluidity to stun Bowens. He got a two-count with the sliced bread. Reynolds got back into the match, hit a knee lift, and attempted a small package driver.

Bowens stopped him in his tracks. Meanwhile, Caster caught Angels in mid-air and slammed him spine-first into the apron. Max Caster grabbed the referee's attention while Bowens gave Reynolds a chain and played possum.

Reynolds didn't fall for the classic Eddie Guerrero trick as Angels came flying in for a frog splash on Bowens. The referee turned his back, and Reynolds went for the pinfall. Anthony kicked out at two and a half. 'This is awesome' chants echoed around the arena.

Caster finally used the boombox to hit Reynolds in between the shoulder blades. Bowens covered and got the win. 5 was just too late for the save on AEW Dark: Elevation.

Result: The Acclaimed def. Alex Reynolds & Alan "5" Angels on AEW Dark: Elevation

Kris Statlander wasn't happy with a hip 'boop' from Aminata as both women engaged in an intense arm lock sequence. The Queen eventually got 'booped,' and the pace of the match increased.

Aminata executed another hip attack. Statlander blocked a suplex and delivered a delayed vertical variation in the middle of the ring.

Aminata, however, rocked Statlander by sending her face-first into the buckle. The Queen came running in for another hip attack in the corner. She even had a few fans as a section of the crowd chanted for Aminata.

Statlander responded by getting a two-count with a fisherwoman's suplex. Aminata got a two-count herself with a forward roll. She got another near fall with a faceplant.

Statlander chopped her way back into the match before sending Aminata for a spin and ending the dizzy sequence with the Big Bang theory. It looked sloppy, but it got the job done for AEW's resident alien. Aminata seemed to have taken a rough bump.

Result: Kris Statlander def. Queen Aminata on AEW Dark: Elevation

Grade: C
