Chandler Hopkins debuted in 2016 competing mostly for Imperial Wrestling Revolution where he won the IWR Revolutionary Championship. Since then he has worked for a number of promotions in Texas including New Texas Pro Wrestling and Metroplex Wrestling. In 2020, Hopkins made his Major League Wrestling (MLW) debut on an episode of MLW FUSION that was taped in Texas. Despite losing to Low Ki in just five minutes, Hopkins was impressive in his televised wrestling debut.
On Dark: Elevation, Chandler Hopkins gets another shot at the big time, as while MLW was a one and done, he now has another chance to make an impression against Joey Janela. Based on his recent work in New Texas Pro Wrestling’s Texas Grand Prix, which can be seen on IWTV, Hopkins is ready for this opportunity and is sure to steal the show on AEW Dark Elevation. Expect to see him get a shot on AEW Dark too based on some of last week’s Elevation debutants getting AEW Dark matches.
