After Dark Elevation - AEW Dark Elevation recap for June 21, 2021

Backstage, Tony Schiavone interviews Matt Sydal, who says that he and his brother Mike Sydal stand up for each other, and while they are cool and calm, they have claws and he can see through TheHybrid2 (Angelico and Jack Evans) and Matt Hardy.

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) beat Royce Isaacs and Jorel Nelson with the Reverse Figure Four from Harwood to Nelson.

"The Native Beast" Nyla Rose beats Delmi Exo.

The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster and Anthony Bowens) beat Baron Black and Tamilian Vineesh. (Before the match, Caster raps that Baron Black dares not attack The Acclaimed, which leads to Baron Black getting hit with the boombox in Bowens' hand. Afterwards, Bowens punches out Vineesh.)

The Varsity Blonds (Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr.) beat Bums R Us (Milo and Raymond Beasley).

Kris Statlander beats Renee Michelle.

We hear from Taz and Powerhouse Hobbs. Taz introduces "Hangman" Adam Page to his fate in Hobbs, then Hobbs tells Page to put down the whiskey and ask himself if he can kick his ass before telling him to saddle up, jump on his horse and leave the Ponderosa so he can beat the hell out of him.

Matt Hardy beats Jora Johl (who has wrestled his first two AEW matches as "Robo"). After the match, Matt tells Jora that he showed him that he has true potential and knows that he has come from India to chase the American dream, then mentions that he knows that if Jora does not become a success story, his papers are going to expire very soon and he will have to leave the United States. He then says that a wealthy, powerful man like himself can correct those issues and help him stay here to chase his dream of becoming a success in AEW, but warns him that it will cost him more than a small fee. Matt Hardy states that since Jora Johl is starting from the very bottom, he hopes that Jora is good at sweeping the floor, ironing clothes, shining shoes and taking care of the Hardy Family Office's menial work. He then says he can make Jora a king, then tells him that he will be in touch.

The Pinnacle (Shawn Spears and Wardlow) beat Ryzin and Kal Herro by referee stoppage after Wardlow knocks Ryzin out with a knee.

Powerhouse Hobbs beats Darien Bengston.

Before the next match, Mark Sterling announces that just minutes ago, he and Jade Cargill signed on with one of the world's most premier news agencies, and that Cargill is now the face of the Black News Channel. Sterling calls Cargill a positive influence his daughter can look up to, as she is a rich athlete with a degree and "doesn't take any beep from anybody." He then says that they are still taking offers from anyone who wants to be part of "Team Jade."

Jade Cargill quickly beats Robyn Renegade.

We hear from Jora Johl, who says that wrestling his hero Matt Hardy was a dream come true for someone who grew up in a small town in Punjab, India. He then says that Matt Hardy is not the same hero he used to look up to, and mentions Matt Hardy's post-match offer. He says that the offer is tempting, but he does not know if he should do it. Jora Johl says he will consider the offer, however.

Penta el Zero Miedo and Eddie Kingston beat Vary Morales and Fuego del Sol.

Jungle Boy beats Cezar Bononi after Luchasaurus and Marko Stunt stop the rest of The Wingmen ("Pretty" Peter Avalon, "The Hollywood Hunk" Ryan Nemeth, JD Drake) from interfering.

Matt Sydal beats Jack Evans.
