The Acclaimed vs. Baron Black & Tamilian Vineesh on AEW Dark: Elevation
Baron Black wasn't pleased with getting roasted by Max Caster, and he tried to attack Bowens before the AEW Dark: Elevation match.
Anthony decked Black with the boombox while Caster continued to rap. Bowens even laid out Vineesh with a forearm shimmer as he announced The Acclaimed's arrival.
Bowens went on the offensive against a defenseless Vineesh as the bell rang. Wight and Schiavone had a lot of praise for Indian star Tamilian Vineesh. The veterans were impressed by his demeanor and attitude towards the business.
Vineesh, however, was in a world of trouble as Bowens came in for an elbow drop. Caster delivered a spear in the corner, and Black was nowhere to be seen on the apron.
Max followed up with a belly-to-back suplex. Vineesh created some separation with a jawbreaker before making the hot tag to Baron Black.
Black took both members of The Acclaimed by storm with a series of moves, including a Manhattan drop and a backstabber.
He pulled his straps down and hit a spinning discus clothesline in the corner, followed by an overhead throw. Bowens kicked out at two, but a brief distraction from Caster helped him get the upper hand.
Bowens executed a brainbuster before Vineesh got the tag; he walked into a fist full of knuckles. The Acclaimed hit the S4 and the Mic Drop for the win.
Result: The Acclaimed def. Baron Black & Tamilian Vineesh on AEW Dark: Elevation
Grade: B
The Acclaimed seems to have a new name for their signature move, the S4!

Bums R Us bum-rushed the Blonds before the match kicked off with a blindsided attack.
Bums R Us executed what they called the 'Dumpster Dive' on Garrison in the corner. Ray Beez of Bums R Us went to the top, but Garrison followed him and delivered a German release suplex.
Milo Beasley got the tag, and Griff flattened him with a back body drop. The action continued as Pillman came in and hit a dropkick-spine buster combo with Garrison for the three-count.

Kris Statlander (w/ Orange Cassidy and Best Friends) vs. Renee Michelle on AEW Dark: Elevation
Kris Statlander started the AEW Dark: Elevation match with a good mat exchange before rolling Renee Michelle around the ring, which looked like a Kiwi leg roll.
Statlander then booped Michelle, who responded with a boot to the midsection. Renee used her quickness to evade a strike with the baseball slide.
Michelle used her feet to significant effect, but Statlander had the power advantage. AEW's alien delivered a powerslam, followed by a running European uppercut and a knee strike in the corner.
Statlander got a two-count with a release German suplex.
She hit the ropes but got caught in a discus forearm, followed by a standing lariat and a leg trip. Kris landed the Big Bang Theory finisher for the win.
