After Dark Elevation - AEW Dark Elevation recap for May 17, 2021

Jungle Boy beats Adrian Alanis with the Snare Trap.

"The Natural" Dustin Rhodes beats Aaron Solow after Aaron Solow tries to use Dustin's bullrope as a weapon and fails. After the match, Dustin attacks Aaron Solow, then Nick Comoroto returns from being ejected from ringside and hits Dustin with the cowbell.

Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston beat Danny Limelight and Royce Isaacs.

We hear from Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Lance Archer. Jake says that Bear Bronson will learn not to play with The Snake because he will get bit, and that the only reason he touches Lance Archer is because he has gold coming his way. Archer says that Sting has said it is showtime and that it is his show time, then says that while he is not looking past Bear Bronson and planning to put him down, but he wants Miro, as he has wanted championship gold for a long time, and nothing is going to stop him.

Jake "The Snake" Roberts guests on commentary for the next match.

Lance Archer beats Bear Bronson.

Paul Wight interviews "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth. Ryan says his career has changed a lot since joining AEW, saying he feels trusted and valued and that AEW lets him be himself and not somebody's younger brother. He says that it takes a whole team to make his film and TV work in Hollywood happen, and says it is nice to be tied to the entertainment world and not feel like a nomad anymore in AEW. As for his connection to The Pretty Picture ("Pretty" Peter Avalon, Cezar Bononi, JD Drake), he says it is not dissimilar to having a team in Hollywood, and that everyone has their role to play on the team. He says it is nice to have a home and be rooted in AEW, but he wants to be the face of the company and be the reason people are watching.

"Legit" Leyla Hirsch beats Natalia Markova with the cross arm breaker.

Scorpio Sky and "All Ego" Ethan Page beat Jaylen Brandyn and Traevon Jordan with a heel hook from Scorpio Sky to Traevon Jordan. After the match, Ethan Page hits the Ego's Edge on Jaylen Brandyn.

We hear from Matt Hardy, The Bunny and The Blade. Matt Hardy says that when people join the Hardy Family Office, they grow, evolve and get better. He says that The Bunny has become more aggressive, violent, deranged and demented, and that he enjoys every minute of it. The Bunny says everyone underestimates her, then says that KiLynn King will go down the rabbit hole tonight.

The Bunny beats KiLynn King after The Blade distracts referee Aubrey Edwards so that Matt Hardy can slip a foreign object to The Bunny to knock KiLynn King out. After the match, The Bunny hits KiLynn King with Down The Rabbit Hole, then Big Swole runs into the ring and clears The Hardy Family Office out.

The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) beat Kevin Bennett and Kevin Blackwood following a miscommunication between Bennett and Blackwood.

We hear from Scorpio Sky and "All Ego" Ethan Page, who brag about their win tonight. Scorpio Sky says they cannot win even if they tried, and Ethan Page says that they are being annoyed by cameras as they celebrate. Ethan Page then celebrates Darby Allin no longer being TNT Champion, and says they do not want to take too much credit after throwing Darby down a flight of stairs. Scorpio Sky says that they only thing they did in the match was keep Sting from getting involved.

QT Marshall beats Baron Black.

"The Bad Boy" Joey Janela beats Daniel Garcia.

We hear from The Factory (QT Marshall, Nick Comoroto, Aaron Solow, Anthony Ogogo). Marshall says that he has heard that AEW is getting back on the road again, and while he has been preaching to Anthony Ogogo how beautiful the United States is, all he has seen is Jacksonville, Florida. He also says that the only reason "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes beat him in the middle of the ring at Blood and Guts is because he owns the arena. Ogogo says Florida and the whole South is the dump, and says he hates America because it values money more than life and it leaves people to rot and die on the streets because they have no healthcare while having over a thousand kids in cages seperated from their parents, and yet the people of America are proud of their country. He says that at Double or Nothing, nobody will be proud of Cody Rhodes after he caves his head and ribs in, and says that while Cody thinks he is a bad man for beating for some good British competitors in the past, he has not faced anyone like him, he will leave him a bloody mess in the middle ring while covered in the Union Jack.

Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) beats The Dark Order (Alex "3" Reynolds and Alan "5" Angels). Before the match, Matt Hardy, The Blade and the rest of The Dark Order are all ejected from ringside by the referee. Later on in the match, Matt Hardy shows up and hits Reynolds with the Twist of Fate as Isiah Kassidy tries to bring a steel chair into the ring, getting the referee's attention in the process. After the match, Private Party and The Blade attack Reynolds and Angels, and the rest of The Dark Order storm the ring.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interview Kris Statlander. Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and Reba barge in, but they are chased away by Hikaru Shida, who strikes the crutch out of Reba's hands with her Kendo stick.

The Pretty Picture ("The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth and JD Drake) beat Roman Rozell and Derek Pisaturo.

In footage from last week, Dr. Britt Baker tries to take the AEW Women's World Championship from Hikaru Shida as part of an impromptu photo shoot for when she wins the title from Shida in three weeks, all while AEW is doing a photo shoot for Forbes magazine.

Tay Conti beats Kiah Dream.

We hear from Matt Hardy, The Blade and Private Party (Marq Quen and Private Party). Matt says that Private Party did not need his help to win tonight, and that he did what he did to Alex "3' Reynolds due to the inujustice he did to Isiah Kassidy by distracting him last week, then says he will beat Reynolds any day of the week while asking Reynolds and John "4" Silver how it felt to have Reynolds in The Leech, saying he would do it to Silver if he were medically cleared and promises to do it when he is and to the rest of The Dark Order.

Penta el Zero Miedo beats Robo.

Thunder Rosa beats Robyn Renegade with the Peruvian Paluvera Choke.

We hear from The Pretty Picture ("Pretty" Peter Avalon, Cezar Bononi, "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth, JD Drake), who celebrate their win tonight. JD Drake tells Nemeth he has finally found his mean streak, then wonders what he got himself into. Bononi says he has gotten himself into the hottest, sexist and most dominant faction in AEW. Drake says he can go for that.

"The Machine" Brian Cage beats Mike Sydal with Weapon X, which Cage has had yet to use in AEW.
