Curious if this is the kind of card we can expect from Elevation in the long term, or if they're loading up the first card to grab more attention.
More Ashley Vox in AEW especially makes me very happy, but everything on that card is good.

Honestly, the line up feels a lot more like the old Dark cards. Can't wait.

Curious if we get a few more matches announced during the weekend or if this is it. If this is it it's a great card. I guess I'll do what I do with DARK and RUN IT DOWN! A few matches have been announced so far for the first card with Paul Wight and Tony Schiavone on commentary. Main Event: Riho vs. Maki Itoh: This is a huge match and it's gonna draw a huge number. I assume Maki's not winning too much cause she isn't officially signed, but that could change soon. She apparently has Japan shows on the 27th so we'll probably be done seeing her after a couple more DARK shows (Since she's not on Dynamite next week). I hope she can get one more win before we get a break from her, but this should be a great match regardless. Riho's actually two years younger than Maki but has so much more experience. Jungle Boy vs. Danny Limelight: This will be great. Jungle Boy probably wins but that doesn't mean Limelight isn't gonna look amazing. Dante Martin vs. Max Caster: Max about to write a diss track on a child This should be a great one, Caster's good, Dante's a great high flyer and this is his singles debut. I'm curious if this leads to any Jack Evans boombox shennanigans again Tay Conti vs. Ashley Vox: Glad Vox is getting more scouting here, she's frankly worth a pickup to add depth to an already growing division. Conti should have a great match with her Brandon Cutler vs. Powerhouse Hobbs: Hobbs finally gonna have a match that goes over a minute? I suppose so. Cutler had a fun match with Hager, I expect the same sorta thing here Private Party/Butcher & Blade vs. TBA: I'm curious if these are just some jobbers to destroy or not, either way, I picture that the Hardy Empire team is gonna win this one but it should be a lot of fun given the contrast of styles Overall this is a solid card, if this is what to expect from Elevation I'm glad to see more name talent/high prospects vs each other. I'm curious to see the other aspects from it as well, promos, interviews, it's supposed to be focused more on building characters. I'm excited to see how Paul Wight commentates, it should be a really good inaugural show!

Khan's tweet notably said "Including" when announcing these matches. I have a feeling there's still a few more to come, probably announced in full with a Twitter graphic.

Honestly, the line up feels a lot more like the old Dark cards. Can't wait. Yeah, the question here was whether this show or regular Dark would be more of the "showcase for the new kids" show; going by the matches here, it at least feels like Elevation is being primed as the show that's more like the original Dark (name wrestlers and matches that could have some bearing on title rankings or feuds, mixed with some unsigned talent they could end up having plans for) while Tuesday might continue what the current Dark's been like, but with fewer matches on it and a shorter run time (more young wrestlers getting their chance to work on a big stage, with some varied talent from around the indies/international scene).

Yeah, I saw some news that Elevation would have the sit down interviews and such as well. Kinda want Undesirable to Undeniable to return. Was a good way to empathize with a wrestler I thought.

Im reallt curious to see what will make elevation and dark feel different Me too, I imagine different color schemes, music, etc. The same set obviously, but you can do a lot to change things up, as others have said interview segments and promos would go a long way in making it feel different from DARK which is usually just "A bunch of matches", even if they're usually good.

I’d kinda like it to be a bit more colorful. Not like Raw or anything but something a little more than the subdued colors Dark and Dynamite use.
