Everyone’s favorite Monday Night Wrestling treat is back for another rousing edition. It’s the Lucky 13th episode of the spectacular weekly thrill ride known as AEW: Dark Elevation. On this week’s show, A former history-making champion is in action against a very dangerous opponent in the card’s main event.

A Radioactive Tune-Up
Ahead of his monumental match against Miro for the TNT Championship, Dark Order’s Evil Uno will be in action against the very impressive and high-flying “Radioactive Papi” Danny Limelight. Uno has the opportunity of a lifetime come Friday night against Miro. Evil Uno has the opportunity to win the TNT Championship and secure his first title in the promotion and bring back gold to The Dark Order. Sure it won’t be an easy task against the Bulgarian Behemoth. But, Evil Uno has proved to everyone on a recent Dynamite that he and Stu Grayson still are as dangerous as ever despite coming up short in tag team action all those weeks ago. Uno still has the edge, drive and, motivation to pull off the impossible so nobody should count out The Dark Order’s founding father.
With that being said, Danny Limelight just won’t roll over and lay down for the Evil one. Since Elevation’s inception back in March, Limelight has been a constant highlight and fan favorite for AEW’s loyal fans. For the most part, he has stood out above the rest. With his high-flying offense and passion to become a great professional wrestler, Limelight continues to put in the work to continue to live his dream. He is not about to let Uno run him out of town. Danny is looking to shock the world and will do everything in his power to make that happen. Will the Radioactive Papi do the unthinkable and pull out a win or will Evil Uno finish him on his way to his TNT Championship match?
Shida’s Road To Redemption
After her devastating loss at Double or Nothing against the new AEW Women’s World Champion Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., Hikaru Shida returns to action on this week’s Elevation. This is the start of the rebuild and inevitable ascent back to the mountain top for the once longest reigning Women’s Champion. Shida fought hard and valiantly to keep her year-long reign going but Baker proved to be too much for even Hikaru to handle.
But despite all of that, no one could ever take away the mark she made on the Women’s Division in her long reign as champion. If fans know anything about Hikaru Shida, its that she is a fighter. It’s only a matter of time until she finds her way back to the top of the rankings and challenges for gold. But for this week, she goes up against the devastating Diamanté. Tough as nails, Diamanté does not care one bit about Shida’s personal turmoil. She is only out for one thing and that’s destruction and putting a hurting on anyone put in front of her. Will Diamanté dole out the pain and come away victorious or will Shida bounce back and get a win back on her road to redemption?
