We have an awesome eight-match card set for tonight’s AEW Dark: Elevation! The Renegades want to keep their win streak alive, but they’ll face a tough test in Marina Shafir and former AEW Women’s World Champion Nyla Rose. The Firm’s Big Bill and Lee Moriarty may look to pursue the AEW World Tag Team Championship now that The Gunns no longer hold the belts. They’ll look to continue to make their case for a shot against Rex Lawless and Traxx. Our focus tonight will be on trios action as Kip Sabian teams up with The Butcher and The Blade to take on debuting 37KAMIINA members MAO, Shunma Katsumata, and Yuki Ueno.

Kip Sabian, The Butcher, and The Blade vs. MAO, Yuki Ueno, and Shunma Katsumata
Kip Sabian, The Butcher, and The Blade have not had the most successful partnership. Since the trio began teaming after Kip’s return from injury, they have yet to pick up a win together. However, that bodes well for their opponents as the debuting Yuki Ueno, Shunma Katsumata, and MAO have already experienced much success together as the unit 37KAMIINA.
Primarily competing in DDT Pro-Wrestling, the group currently holds both the KO-D Tag Team Championship and the DDT Iron Man Heavy Metal Championship. Sabian, Butcher, and Blade’s only advantage over their opponents is their experience inside the AEW ring. While that might be enough to get them the win, I actually favor the newcomers in this match.
I will go with the upset here tonight of 37KAMIINA walking out the victors, but regardless of the outcome, it will be an entertaining watch!
