This week on AEW Dark: Elevation, Mercedes Martinez defends her ROH Women’s World Championship again, this time against Hyan. Trouble within The Varsity Blonds in their match against The Butcher & The Blade, as Julia Hart is nowhere to be seen and an accidental superkick leads to the finish. We also get Lee Moriarty vs. Alex Reynolds, Nyla Rose & Emi Sakura vs. Skye Blue & Yuka Sakazaki and Anthony Ogogo against ROW Heavyweight Champion Mysterious Q.
IMPACT Wrestling has Mia Yim in her first match back since 2017 as she teams up with Taya Valkyrie and Jordynne Grace to take on Deonna Purrazzo, Tasha Steelz & Savannah Evans. The Briscoes defend the tag team championship against Violent By Design, Josh Alexander finds a ‘TNA’ box and Mike Bailey takes on Laredo Kid in an Ultimate X qualifying match.
On NXT UK, we have a Dog Collar Match between Wild Boar and Eddie Dennis, Tiger Turan keeps getting into Kenny Williams’ head, Ivy Nile asks Meiko Satomura for a championship match and Die Familie takes on Dave Mastiff & Jack Starz to try and get into a tag team championship match.
