After Dark Elevation - AEW Dark Elevation recap for November 7, 2022

Abadon beats Amy Rose.

Dalton Castle and The Boys (Brent and Brandon Tate) retain the Ring of Honor World Six-Man Tag Team Championships against The Trustbusters (Ari Daivari, Slim J, Jeeves Kay).

Backstage, Lexi Nair interviews Alex Reynolds. He says every win is big for The Dark Order and for him, and he says that while Kip Sabian is talented, he has to tell everyone that he is overlooked and is trying to get attention. Alex says that he is a dark horse and that he thrives off of that, as it gives him the energy to overcome obstacles. He says that tonight will be no different and that he hopes Kip Sabian is ready.

Athena beats Abby Jane by submission, then briefly locks the hold in again after the match and almost attacks Abby Jane again.

Backstage, Lexi Nair interviews QT Marshall and Lee Johnson. QT Marshall says that "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson has been living in people's shadows for over a year-and-a-half. Lee Johnson says QT Marshall got him into AEW, and for that, he never was able to give him a proper thank you. He admits they have their difference, but it is time to start the party by beating Danhausen and leaving the legacy that he wants to leave after losing so much time.

Before the next match, The Firm is in the ring. Stokely Hathaway says that Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) have been at "the Hathaway Wrestling Academy," even though Marq Quen says they have not learned anything. Suddenly, Matt Hardy shows up, and "All Ego" Ethan Page tells Matt Hardy to leave Private Party alone as they are not helping them and he is only helping himself. After refusing to let Private Party speak, Ethan Page says that he gives great advice, then tells a recently married couple in the front row to end their marriage to be happier before telling Matt Hardy to go away while he becomes the future AEW World Champion. As Ethan Page and W. Morrissey pose, Matt Hardy hits Stokely Hathaway with a Twist of Fate and leaves with Private Party, then tells Morrissey and Ethan that Hathaway passed out and that Hathaway gave the three of them the rest of the night off.

Tay Melo beats Trish Adora.

Dante Martin beats Eli Isom.

The Factory (QT Marshall, Cole Karter, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) beat Cheeseburger, Logan Easton LaRoux and Rhett Titus in a trios match. After the match, QT Marshall says that The Factory is running on all cylinders, then black-and-white footage of someone taking a nail is shown on the video screen.

Eddie Kingston and Ortiz beat Myles Hawkins and Joe Keys. After the match, Eddie Kingston refrains from attacking Myles Hawkins, but then goes after him with a chair. Ortiz stops Kingston, and Joe Keys pulls Myles Hawkins out of the ring.

Kip Sabian beats Alex Reynolds by reversing an inside cradle with one of his own after Reynolds rolls away from a double foot stomp.

Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta) and Rocky Romero beat Angelico, The Butcher and The Blade in a trios match.
