AEW Dark: Elevation - 9 matches confirmed, tricky opponent for Brian Cage, new tag teams, and more

AEW has announced nine matches for the upcoming episode of Dark: Elevation and the headliner of the evening will see Sammy Guevara team up with his best friend Fuego Del Sol for the first time.

Del Sol recently received a full-time contract and will be looking to pick up only his second ever AEW win when he teams up with Sammy to take on Luther and Serpentico of Chaos Project.

Brian Cage will compete in a singles match against Anthony Bowens of The Acclaimed. Bowens does not fall into the category of wrestlers that Brian Cage regularly squashes on Dark, and the tag team wrestler could pose a tricky challenge to the former FTW Champion.

How much offense will Anthony Bowens be able to deliver during the match? Fans should be prepared for a few twists!

Dante Martin's rise in AEW has been genuinely phenomenal to watch as he is now one of the first names to get booked every week on Elevation and Dark. The Top Flight member's goal would be to continue the recent hot run of form when he takes on Adam Grace.

Matt Hardy will be in Jora Johl's corner for the Indian wrestler's contest against Kal Herro. Daniel Garcia could be in for an easy payday as he is slated for a match against AEW debutant Tylor Sullivan.
